ABSTRACT:
A signal transmission system comprising a signal conduction matrix formed into a shape that allows transmission of a signal through the matrix using at least one surface signal router, at least one signal source operatively connected to a surface of the matrix and that generates a signal that propagates through matrix, and at least one signal receiver operatively connected to a surface of the matrix and that receives the signal from the signal source. The signal may be coded, modulated, frequency-converted, or amplified. The surface signal router can be a reflective coating, an indentation, a pressure fit structure, or at least one inclined cut on the surface of the matrix. A frequency-selective filter can be used to allow selective detection by a target signal receiver. The invention is also directed to various method of transmitting a signal using a signal conduction matrix.
