CONTACTLESS CONNECTOR

A contactless connector including a waveguide structure (506) having a waveguide body (530) extending between a first end (543) and a second end (548) and a septum (532) received in the waveguide body and extend at least partially along an interior of the waveguide body. The septum divides at least a portion of the waveguide body into a first chamber and a second chamber. The waveguide structure conveys RF signals between the first and second ends. The contactless connector includes a communication module (508) having a circuit board (510) positioned at the first end of the waveguide body with transmit and receive communication chips (518) coupled to the circuit board. The waveguide guides the RF signals from and to the transmit and receive communication chips, and the septum isolates the RF signals associated with the communication chips.
