Abstract:
1. A contactless connector comprising: a waveguide structure comprising a waveguide body extending between a first end and a second end and a septum received in the waveguide body and extend at least partially along an interior of the waveguide body, the septum dividing at least a portion of the waveguide body into a first chamber and a second chamber, the waveguide structure conveying RF signals between the first and second ends; a communication module comprising a circuit board positioned at the first end of the waveguide body, the communication module having a transmit communication chip configured to transmit wireless RF signals and a receive communication chip configured to receive wireless RF signals, the transmit and receive communication chips being coupled to the circuit board; wherein the waveguide guides the RF signals from and to the transmit and receive communication chips, and wherein the septum isolates the RF signals associated with the transmit communication chip from the RF signals associated with the receive communication chip for at least a portion of a length of the waveguide body.
