Classification: CPC H  F | IPC F  H

Claim 6:
7. A system for a gas turbine engine, the system comprising:
a first node of the gas turbine engine;
a second node of the gas turbine engine, wherein the second node is configured to interface with at least one sensor or at least one actuator of the gas turbine engine; and
a double-ridge waveguide comprising a metallic shell surrounding a waveguide core that forms a communication and radio frequency power transmission path, wherein the first node is configured to propagate at least one communication channel and a radio frequency power transmission through the waveguide core to the second node during operation of the gas turbine engine, wherein the waveguide core within the metallic shell of the double-ridge waveguide comprises a polymer material through which the at least one communication channel and the radio frequency power transmission are propagated.
