Patent ID: 8115688

Claim:
A Radio Frequency (RF) conduit, comprising: a pair of antennas coupled together by a transmission line such that RF tunneling occurs along the transmission line between the antennas and an RF signal received at one antenna is reradiated at the other antenna; wherein the RF conduit is physically characterized as being capable of reducing a loss of signal strength of a signal received by one of the antennas positioned towards a first side of an RF absorbing material and reradiated by the other antenna positioned towards a second side of the RF absorbing material opposite the first side by about 8 dB to about 25 dB in a frequency range of 700 to 1100 megahertz (MHz) relative to traversal of the signal throuih the RF absorbintt material from the first side thereof to the second side thereof in absence of the RF conduit.
