1. An interconnect for transmitting an electric signal between electronic devices, comprising:
- a first inductive coil inductively coupled to, and immediately juxtaposed to, a second inductive coil;
the first inductive coil being mounted on and electrically connected within a layer of a first integrated circuit in a first electronic device, and the second inductive coil being mounted on and electrically connected within a layer of a second integrated circuit in a second electronic device, each of the first electronic device and the second electronic device having a first face and a second face parallel to the layers of the first and second integrated circuits, the first face of the first electronic device being immediately adjacent to the first face of the second electronic device;
the first inductive coil and the second inductive coil being separated by a dielectric barrier;
at least one signal converter connected to at least one of the first inductive coil and the second inductive coil, the signal converter comprising one of a RF carrier wave modulator, a RF carrier wave demodulator, an ultra-wide band pulse to digital modulator and an ultra-wide band pulse to digital demodulator.

Abstract
An interconnect for transmitting an electric signal between electronic devices includes a first coupling element electromagnetically coupled to, and immediately juxtaposed to, a second coupling element. The first coupling element is mounted on and is electrically connected to a first electronic device having a first integrated circuit. The second coupling element may be mounted on and electrically connected to the first electronic device, and electrically connected to an interconnect on a second electronic device, or the second coupling element may be mounted on and electrically connected to the second electronic device.
