Millimeter wave fabric network over dielectric waveguides
Abstract:
Radio frequency (RF) data transfer between components in rack mounted systems is facilitated through the use of dielectric waveguides and millimeter Wave (mm-Wave) transceivers. A signal generator provides one or more data signals to a serializer/deserializer (SERDES) which serializes a plurality of parallel data signals to produce a single, serialized, signal containing data from each of the input signals to the SERDES. A mm-Wave die upconverts the serialized signal to a mm-Wave signal and a mm-Wave launcher launches the signal into the dielectric waveguide. At the receiving end the process is reversed such that the mm-Wave signal is first downconverted and passed through a SERDES to provide the original one or more signals to a recipient signal generator. Some or all of the components may be formed directly in the semiconductor package.
