Abstract
A system of a machine includes a network of nodes distributed throughout the machine. A means is operable to communicate with the network of nodes through one or more electromagnetic signals. A plurality of waveguides is configured to guide transmission of the one or more electromagnetic signals. A radio frequency antenna is coupled to a first waveguide of the plurality of waveguides. A radio frequency transceiver is coupled between the means and the radio frequency antenna. A membrane is configured to support communication between the first waveguide and at least one node of the plurality of nodes.
