Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention provide a system and method for chip to chip communications in electronic circuits. In one embodiment, a networking device includes an input port circuit having a transmitter circuit coupled one or more transmitter antennas, wherein the input port circuit transmits a data packet to a first output port circuit using millimeter wave signals. The networking device includes output port circuits including at least the first output port circuit, each of the output port circuits having a receiver circuit coupled to one or more receiver antennas. The networking device includes a beamforming circuit coupled to the one or more transmitter antennas of the input port circuit, wherein the beamforming circuit causes the one or more transmitter antennas to transmit an antenna beam directed at the one or more receiver antennas of the first output port circuit.
