Abstract
The present invention provides a mechanism for supporting high digital bandwidth in a multi-drop bus system. A first device of the system is electrically coupled to a bus. Multiple receiving devices are coupled to the bus through associated electromagnetic couplers having coupling coefficients in a specified range. The geometries of the electromagnetic couplers are selected to reduce variations in the coupling coefficients with changes in the relative positions of the coupler components.
