Patent ID: 8714459

Claim:
A first electronic device for electromagnetic communication with a second electronic device, the second electronic device having a surface and plural Extremely High Frequency (EHF) communication units distributed on the surface, the first electronic device comprising: a dielectric substrate having a major surface; at least a first electronic component mounted on the first substrate, for processing digital information; plural first EHF communication units, each having an antenna and being mounted on the dielectric substrate, and each for transmitting and or receiving respective EHF electromagnetic signals and converting between corresponding baseband signals and EHF electromagnetic signals wherein at least one of the first EHF communication units is in communication with the first electronic component to convert between a first EHF electromagnetic signal containing digital information conducted by the antenna of the at least one first EHF communication unit, and a first data signal conducted by the first electronic component; and wherein the plural first EHF communication units are distributed over the major surface in a configuration that is effective for the plural first EHF communications units to align with corresponding ones of the plural EHF communication units of the second electronic device, the alignment forming pairs of aligned EHF communication units when the major surface is positioned facing the surface of the second electronic device to enable communication between the first EHF communication units and the EHF communication units of the second electronic device, each pair of aligned EHF communication units forming a communication channel.
