Patent ID: 7215216

Claim:
An electronic system, comprising: a signal lead; a communications module including at least one of a transmitter module configured to transmit a data signal and a receiver module adapted to receive a data signal, wherein the transmitter module comprises a transmitter coupled to a first gain, and a first low-pass filter coupled between the first gain and the signal lead, and wherein the receiver module comprises a receiver coupled to a second low-pass filter, and a second gain coupled between the second low-pass filter and the signal lead; and a capacitive coupling module coupled between the communications module and the signal lead, the capacitive coupling module including a first member having at least one first conductive lead disposed therein and a dielectric portion coupled to an end portion of the at least one first conductive lead; and a second member having at least one second conductive lead disposed therein, the first and second members being coupled such that respective end portions of the first and second conductive leads are operatively positioned and spaced apart by the dielectric portion, the dielectric portion being configured to capacitively couple the respective end portions of the first and second conductive leads and to allow signals to be at least one of transmitted and received therethrough.
