Wireless signal propagation apparatus
First Claim
1. Apparatus for propagation of a wireless signal through a barrier, the apparatus comprising:
- a first antenna for location on a first side of the barrier,a second antenna for location on a second side of the barrier, anda waveguide, the waveguide comprising a conducting member arranged to pass through said barrier between the first and second sides, the conducting member being held spaced from a surrounding metal wall of the waveguide, the conducting member having a first end portion arranged to terminate on the first side of the barrier, a second end portion arranged to terminate on the second side of the barrier and an intermediate portion therebetween, wherein the first and second end portions are integral with the respective first and second antennas, wherein the first and second end portions protrude beyond the surrounding metal wall and provide the respective first and second antennas, whereby in use a wireless signal received by the waveguide on the first side of the barrier is transmitted along the waveguide and radiated on the second side.

Abstract
There is provided apparatus for propagation of a wireless signal through a barrier comprising a first antenna for location on a first side of the barrier, a second antenna for location on a second side of the barrier and a waveguide. The waveguide comprises a conducting member passing through the barrier between the first and second sides. The conducting member is held within an insulator sleeve such that it is spaced from a surrounding metal wall of the waveguide. A wireless signal received by the waveguide on the first side of the barrier is transmitted through the barrier by Transverse Electro-Magnetic (TEM) mode propagation along the waveguide is re-radiated on the second side.
