Abstract:
1. A radio transceiver module operable to transmit through a dielectric substrate wave guide, comprising: a dielectric substrate wave guide for conducting very high radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic signals wherein the substrate wave guide defines a bounded volume for conducting and substantially containing the very high RF electromagnetic signals and wherein the dielectric substrate wave guide is formed to have a resonant frequency that is at least 20 GHz; a first substrate transceiver communicatively coupled to a first substrate antenna operable to transmit and receive the very high RF electromagnetic signals having a frequency of at least 20 GHz that substantially matches the resonant frequency of the dielectric substrate wave guide; controllable electromagnetic field generation circuitry operable to generate a field through at least a portion of the wave guide to adjust the resonant frequency of the dielectric substrate wave guide; a second substrate transceiver communicatively coupled to a second substrate antenna wherein the first and second substrate antennas are operably disposed to transmit and receive radio frequency communication signals, respectively, through the dielectric substrate wave guide; and logic for setting a first electromagnetic field strength to generate a field to set a resonant frequency of the dielectric substrate wave guide to create a standing wave between the first and second antennas for transmissions substantially equal to the resonant frequency.
