Patent ID: 7091915

Claim:
A radio frequency coupler operable to couple radio frequency signals through a dielectric material having a first surface and a second surface, the coupler comprising: a first radio frequency coupling module mountable on the first surface of the dielectric material, the first coupling module including a conductive member, wherein a portion of the conductive member is operable to contact the dielectric material; a second radio frequency coupling module mountable on the second surface of the dielectric material, the second coupling module including: a plate having a first side, a second side, and an opening; a shield coupled to the first side of the plate; and a conductive member electrically isolated from the plate and the shield, wherein a portion of the conductive member is operable to contact the dielectric material; wherein, the first radio frequency coupling module and the second radio frequency coupling module are configured such that when the modules are mounted to the dielectric material, the conductive member of the first radio frequency coupling module is substantially in juxtaposition with the conductive member of the second radio frequency coupling module.
