Abstract
There is disclosed in one example an electromagnetic wave launcher apparatus, including: an interface to an electromagnetic waveguide; a first launcher configured to launch a high-frequency electromagnetic signal onto a first cross-sectional portion of the waveguide; and a second launcher configured to launch a lower-frequency electromagnetic signal onto a second cross-sectional portion of the waveguide.
Claims20
An electromagnetic wave launcher apparatus, comprising:
- an interface to an electromagnetic waveguide;
- a first launcher configured to launch a high-frequency electromagnetic signal onto a first cross-sectional portion of the waveguide;
- and
- a second launcher configured to launch a lower-frequency electromagnetic signal onto a second cross-sectional portion of the waveguide.
An electromagnetic wave guide, comprising:
- a high-permittivity core waveguide;
- a lower-permittivity cladding around the core waveguide;
- and
- a conductive shield around the cladding.
A server rack, comprising:
- a chassis;
- a first server having a first launcher assembly, the first launcher assembly comprising a first launcher to launch a high-frequency electromagnetic signal, and a second launcher to launch a lower-frequency electromagnetic signal;
- a second server having a second launcher assembly, the second launcher assembly having a first launcher to launch a high-frequency electromagnetic signal, and a second launcher to launch a lower-frequency electromagnetic signal;
- and
- a dielectric waveguide having a high-permittivity core waveguide disposed to communicatively couple the first launcher of the first launcher assembly to the first launcher of the second launcher assembly, and a lower-permittivity cladding disposed to communicatively couple the second launcher of the first launcher assembly to the second launcher of the second launcher assembly.
