Electromagnetically coupling electronic devices by driving a coupling element with one of a modulated continuous wave and an ultra-wideband pulse

摘要

An interconnect for transmitting an electric signal between electronic devices, comprising a first coupling element electromagnetically coupled to, and immediately juxtaposed to, a second coupling element. The first coupling element is mounted on and electrically connected to a first electronic device having a first integrated circuit, and the second coupling element is mounted on and electrically connected to a second electronic device having a second integrated circuit. A coupling device electrically connected to the first coupling element comprises one of a digital to ultra-wideband pulse converter and a RF modulator such that, in operation, the coupling device drives the first coupling element with one of an ultra-wideband pulse and a modulated RF signal to electromagnetically couple the first coupling element and the second coupling element.
