Description
Summary:Continuous increase of integration density, operating frequency, thermal stress and other complexities are pushing the conventional metal interconnects based IC technology to its material and physical limits. Radical alternative like on-chip radio frequency (RF) and wireless communication is being explored to replace the hard-wired metal interconnect. Currently for interchip and intra-chip RF/wireless communication various single-input-single-output (SISO) schemes like BPSK, OQPSK, MSK and GMSK are being investigated. This paper presents a multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) system for on-chip RF/wireless communication to significantly enhance system performance compared to the conventional systems. We propose to utilize a Gaussian channel environment for the MIMO system. This paper evaluates the capacity (bit/s/Hz) of the wireless Gaussian MIMO channel system and compares it with the SISO channel system currently under investigation.
