“…Indeed, a NoC aims at bringing on-chip the technologies already developed for computer and telecommunication networks [2,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. The key building blocks of a NoC are routers [23][24][25][26][27], network interfaces (NI) [28], and links [29][30][31][32][33].…”

Also, for the Analog-Digital converter [45,55] and for the building blocks of a NoC (e.g., NI, Router, Link in [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]) there are many works proposing on-chip integrated solutions. Instead, for the antenna, there are still open issues on optimizing the trade-off between area, gain and bandwidth.…”

Abstract:To allow fast communication-at several Gb/s-of multimedia content among processors and memories in a multi-processor system-on-chip, a new approach is emerging in literature: Wireless Network-on-Chip (WiNoC). With reference to this scenario, this paper presents the design of the key element of the WiNoC: the antenna. Specifically, a bow-tie antenna is proposed, which operates at mm-waves and can be implemented on-chip using the top metal layer of a conventional silicon CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) technology. The antenna performance is discussed in the paper and is compared to the state-of-the-art, including the zig-zag antenna topology that is typically used in literature as a reference for WiNoC. The proposed bow-tie antenna design for WiNoC stands out for its good trade-off among bandwidth, gain, size and beamwidth vs. the state-of-the-art.
