Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. A system for communicating extremely high frequency (EHF) electromagnetic signals between a first and a second communication apparatus, the first communication apparatus comprising:
a dielectric substrate having a major surface, the major surface aligning with and parallel to a major surface of a second substrate of the second communication apparatus;
a plurality of chips arranged on the major surface of the dielectric substrate, comprising a plurality of Extremely High Frequency (EHF) communication units,
wherein each of the plurality of EHF communication units comprises a transducer and at least one of an EHF transmitter circuit coupled to receive a data signal and generate an EHF electromagnetic signal for transmission by the transducer in a first direction away from the major surface of the dielectric substrate, and an EHF receiver circuit coupled to receive an EHF electromagnetic signal via the transducer and transform the received EHF electromagnetic signal into a data signal,
wherein each of the plurality of EHF communication units is configured to establish a respective communication channel oriented in the first direction with a corresponding EHF communication unit of a second plurality of EHF communication units disposed at a corresponding location of the major surface of the second substrate
wherein the substrate and the second substrate are separated by an intervening layer; and
wherein the intervening layer comprises a conductive material and includes a window configured to allow transmission of EHF communications signals corresponding to a communication channel of the respective communication channels through the window.
