Abstract
A plug connection arrangement for mechanically and electromagnetically coupling a radiation source to a dielectric waveguide and a system for transmitting data by electromagnetic radiation. The plug connection arrangement has a housing which can be mounted on a printed circuit board. The radiation source generates electromagnetic waves. The radiation source is enclosed, in a mounted state, on the printed circuit board, at least in sections, by the housing and the receiving unit for receiving and aligning the dielectric waveguide is connected to the housing. The dielectric waveguide, which can be received by the receiving unit, in the received state, can be electromagnetically coupled to the radiation source.
Claims20
A plug connection arrangement for mechanically and electromagnetically coupling a radiation source to a dielectric waveguide and comprising:
- a housing adapted to be mounted on a printed circuit board;
- a radiation source for generating electromagnetic waves enclosed at least in sections by the housing;
- a dielectric waveguide electromagnetically coupled to the radiation source directly or through the material of the housing;
- and
- a receiving unit receiving and aligning the dielectric waveguide and connected to the housing.
A system for transmitting data by electromagnetic radiation between a first controller and a second controller with each controller having a controller housing with one plug connection arrangement having:
- a housing adapted to be mounted on a printed circuit board;
- a radiation source for generating electromagnetic waves enclosed at least in sections by the housing;
- a dielectric waveguide electromagnetically coupled to the radiation source directly or through the material of the housing outside the controller housing;
- and
- a receiving unit receiving and aligning the dielectric waveguide and connected to the housing.
