Electromagnetically coupling an ultra-wideband pulse between a first electronic device and a second electronic device

摘要

An interconnect, for transmitting an electrical signal between a first electronic device and a second electronic device, comprises a first coupling element immediately juxtaposed to, and separated by a dielectric barrier from, a second coupling element on the first electronic device, the first coupling element being electrically connected to an integrated circuit of the first electronic device. The interconnect further comprises a third coupling element immediately juxtaposed to, and separated by a dielectric barrier from, a fourth coupling element on the second electronic device, the fourth coupling element being electrically connected to an integrated circuit of the second electronic device. The third coupling element is electrically connected to the second coupling element. A digital to ultra-wideband pulse signal converter is electrically connected to the first coupling element such that, in operation, the first coupling element is driven with an ultra-wideband pulse to electromagnetically couple the first and second coupling elements.
