  • Abstract
    The achievable signal-to-noise ratio for an 18-GHz wireless clock distribution system has been estimated by extrapolating from the current status of the clock receiver, the integrated antenna performance, and the understanding of noise sources and coupling mechanisms. It is estimated that a SNR of ~23 dB is achievable at the input of the frequency divider within the clock receiver block
