Description
Summary:	An intra-chip wireless interconnect system using on-chip antennas and ultrawideband (UWB) radios that operates in 22–29 GHz is studied in this paper. The on-chip antennas are meander monopoles of axial length 1 mm in silicon technology. A unique wireless channel is formed between a pair of on-chip transmit and receive antennas. The channel is characterized up to an interconnect distance of 40 mm. The system performance is evaluated in terms of bit-error-rate (BER) under the assumptions of perfect system synchronization and signal corruption from thermal and switching noises. As expected, the system performance degrades with interconnect distance and data rate.
