Abstract :
In this work, some most frequently studied interconnect solutions in recent years have been discussed and compared to show their advantages and limitations. RF wireless interconnect (RFWI) method is further studied by system modeling in simulink environment and successful communication between transmitter and receiver is obtained. The results indicate the potential feasibility and reliability of the inter-chip and intra-chip communication system using integrated RF transceiver and antenna to replace the present metal wiring interconnect. The fact that lots of the existing experiences on RF transceiver and antenna design makes RFWI an attractive interconnect solution.
