Abstract
An exemplary medical system includes a first electrical circuit on a printed circuit board (PCB) and configured to generate data, a second electrical circuit on the PCB and electrically isolated from the first electrical circuit, and a radio frequency (RF) communication interface assembly on the PCB. The RF communication interface assembly includes an RF transmitter electrically coupled to the first electrical circuit and electrically isolated from the second electrical circuit, an RF receiver out of direct RF signal path alignment with the RF transmitter, electrically coupled to the second electrical circuit, and electrically isolated from the first electrical circuit, and a waveguide between the RF transmitter and the RF receiver and configured to guide an RF signal representative of the data between the RF transmitter and the RF receiver.
