  • Abstract
    In the era of the nanometer CMOS technology, due to stringent system requirements in power, performance and other fundamental physical limitations (such as mechanical reliability, thermal constraints, overall system form factor, etc.), future SoC systems are relying more on ultra-high data rate scalable, re-configurable, highly compact and reliable interconnect fabric. To overcome such challenges, we explore the use of multiband wireline and wireless RF-Interconnect (RF-I) which can communicate simultaneously through multiple frequency bands with low power signal transmission, reconfigurable bandwidth and excellent mechanical flexibility and reliability.
