RADIO FREQUENCY WAVEGUIDE SYSTEM INCLUDING CONTROL REMOTE NODE THERMAL COOLING

A radio frequency waveguide communication system (300) includes a guided electromagnetic transmission network (301), and a cooling air source (302). The guided electromagnetic transmission network (301) includes one or more remote nodes (302a-302n) in fluid communication with one or more waveguides (304a-304n). The cooling air source (302) is in fluid communication with the guided electromagnetic transmission network (301) and is configured to provide pressurized cooling air to the waveguides (304a-304n). The waveguides (304a-304n) direct the pressurized cooling air to the remote nodes (302a-302n).
