    Abstract: A system for transferring electrical signals while providing electrical isolation may include a first circuit and a second circuit electrically isolated from the first circuit. The first circuit may provide a first electrical signal path for conveying a transmit electrical signal and including a first EHF communication unit. The first EHF communication unit may be configured to receive the transmit electrical signal and to electromagnetically transmit an electromagnetic EHF signal representative of the electrical signal. The second circuit may provide a second electrical signal path and including a second EHF communication unit. The second EHF communication unit may be configured to electromagnetically receive the transmitted electromagnetic EHF signal, extract a received electrical signal from the received electromagnetic EHF signal, and apply the received electrical signal to the second electrical signal path. A dielectric element may conduct the electromagnetic EHF signal between the first and second EHF communication units.

    Abstract: A system for communicating modulated EHF signals may include a modulation circuit responsive to a bi-level transmit information signal for generating a transmit output signal. The transmit output signal may have an EHF frequency when the transmit information signal is at a first information state and may be suppressed when the transmit information signal is at a second information state. A transmit transducer operatively coupled to the modulation circuit may be responsive to the transmit output signal for converting the transmit output signal into an electromagnetic signal.

    Abstract: A system for sensing proximity and determining distance using EHF signals may include a first amplifier for amplifying an output signal having an EHF frequency. A transducer may be operatively coupled to the first amplifier for converting the amplified output signal into an electromagnetic signal having the EHF frequency. A proximity-sensing circuit may be responsive to a reference and a composite signal conducted between the first amplifier and the transducer for sensing the proximity of a transducer field-modifying device proximate to the transducer. The composite signal may include the amplified output signal and any electromagnetic received signal received by the transducer and induced by the field-modifying device.

    Abstract: Embodiments discussed herein refer to systems, methods, and circuits for establishing EHF contactless communications links. The EHF contactless communication link may serve as an alternative to conventional board-to-board and device-to-device connectors. The link may be a low-latency protocol-transparent communication link capable of supporting a range of data rates. The link may be established through a close proximity coupling between devices, each including at least one EHF communication unit. Each EHF unit involved in establishing an EHF communication link may progress through a series of steps before data can be transferred between the devices. These steps may be controlled by one or more state machines that are being implemented in each EHF communication unit.

The connectors are capable of monitoring, controlling, and directing link operation to dynamically adapt to conditions, as well as monitoring and altering data passing through the connector, and selecting a protocol suitable for a communications session. The connectors are capable of identifying the type of content being transferred, providing authentication and security services, and enabling application support for the host systems based on the type of connection or the type of content. The connectors may operate independently of the host systems, and may perform at least one of sensing proximity of a nearby object; detecting a shape of a nearby object; and detecting vibrations.

    Abstract: A Physical Layer (PHY) of a host system of an electronic device may be implemented as a contactless PHY (Host-cPHY) for extremely high frequency (EHF) contactless communication and the operation of EHF transmitters (TX), receivers (RX) and transceivers (EHF-XCVR) in an extremely high frequency integrated circuit (EHF IC) of the electronic device. The Host-cPHY translates logical communications requests from the Link Layer (LINK) into hardware-specific operations to affect transmission or reception of signals over an EHF contactless link. The Link Layer (LINK) may also be optimized as a contactless Link Layer may comprise a contactless Physical Layer (Host-cPHY), and a contactless Link Layer (cLINK) for coupling a conventional Link Layer (LINK) with the contactless Physical Layer (Host-cPHY). Multiple data streams may be transported over the EHF contactless link over a range of frequencies.
