System and method for intra-cabinet wireless communication

A system, method and apparatus is provided for linking an assembly of electronic components disposed inside a cabinet for wireless communication therebetween. The method consists of (a) selecting a plurality of the electronic components for inter-communication therebetween, and linking each of the plurality of electronic components, directly or indirectly, to a wireless multi-link device, the wireless multi-link device including one or more radiating elements; (b) providing an RF/microwave chamber within or adjacent to the cabinet, the dimensions of which are optimized to promote signal propagation inside the RF/microwave chamber, whereby the RF/microwave chamber is operable to substantially confine signals emitted by the radiating elements within the RF/microwave chamber; (c) confining the radiating elements within the RF/microwave chamber; (d) connecting the wireless multi-link devices to a wireless medium that is operable within an air medium of the RF/microwave chamber; and (e) activating the wireless multi-link devices to inter-communicate via the wireless medium by operation of the radiating elements. The RF/microwave chamber dimensions are optimized so that the minimum cross-sectional dimensions perpendicular to and averaged over each possible signal trajectory within the RF/microwave chamber are greater than or substantially equal to lambda/2. The system consists of a wireless-linking system for enabling electronic components disposed inside, a cabinet to inter-communicate wirelessly, the system including a plurality of wireless multi-link devices and the RF/microwave chamber. A wireless transceiver is also provided for managing wireless inter-connection between the wireless multi-link devices.
