Abstract
An RF conduit according to one embodiment includes 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. An RF conduit according to another embodiment includes a pair of antenna traces each having first and second end portions and a central portion extending between the first and second end portions, wherein the central portions are positioned relative to each other such that they form a transmission line for RF tunneling therealong between the first ends of the antenna traces and the second ends of the antenna traces and an RF signal received at the first ends is reradiated at the second ends. Additional systems and methods are presented.
