Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In some developing interconnect technologies, such as chip-to-chip optical interconnect or metal waveguide interconnects, misalignment can be a serious issue. Here, however, a interconnect that uses an on-chip directional antenna (which operates in the sub-millimeter range) to form a radio frequency (RF) interconnect through a dielectric waveguide is provided. This system allows for misalignment while providing the increased communication bandwidth.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An apparatus comprising: a housing having a receptacle formed therein, wherein the receptacle is adapted to receive at least a portion of a dielectric waveguide; and an integrated circuit (IC) secured within the housing, wherein the IC includes: a substrate; a directional antenna that is adapted to provide a communication link with the directional dielectric waveguide; and a beam steering circuit that is coupled to the directional antenna, where…
