Abstract
Hinge assemblies that serve as conduits for guiding extremely high frequency (EHF) signals are disclosed herein. The hinge assembly can contain EHF signal energy as data is transmitted from one structure to the other and the hinge assembly can also include a one or more waveguides that define EHF signal pathways through which EHF signal energy is directed. Each hinge assembly may serve as a conduit structure for each coupled pair of contactless communication units (CCUs), and multiple hinge assemblies may be used as separate conduit structures each of several coupled pairs of contactless communication unit.
