Wireless neural network and a wireless neural processing element

A neural network, comprising:

• wafer scale analog electronics including neurons connected to radio transceivers;
• antennas connected to the transceivers;
• and
• a waveguide surrounding said antennas.

A neural processing element communicating with other processing elements through an adjacent waveguide, comprising:

• an antenna projecting into the waveguide and receiving radio frequency signals from the other processing elements;
• a transceiver connected to said antenna;
• and
• a neural processing element transfer function unit connected to said transceiver.

A neural network, comprising:

• a waveguide;
• and
• neural network processing elements each for producing an output signal in said waveguide and each comprising:
• summing means for wirelessly summing the output signals;
• and
• transfer function means for performing a neural transfer function responsive to the summed output signals.

A neural network, comprising:

• a waveguide;
• antennas irregularly, spatially positioned in said waveguide;
• transceivers corresponding to and connected to said antennas;
• and
• neural processing element transfer function units corresponding to and connected to said transceivers.

A method of performing neural network operations between first and second groups of neural processing elements, comprising the steps of:

• (a) performing, by the first group, a first neural processing element transfer function to produce first neuron signals;
• (b) radio frequency transmitting the first neuron signals;
• (c) guiding the transmitted first neuron signals from the first group to the second group;
• and
• (d) performing, by the second group, a second neural processing element transfer function on the first neuron signals.
