Abstract

Increasing operating frequency of current and future VLSI systems is putting physical constraint on hard-wired metal interconnect. Several revolutionary approaches to interconnect have been proposed. One of the most feasible approaches is RF/wireless interconnects. This paper evaluates the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of a coherent binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) with linear and systematic channel coding in an intra-chip RF/wireless interconnect system. The results indicate that for a certain range of received signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio, channel coding improves the performance of the RF/wireless interconnect system. Digital implementation of the encoder and decoder circuit block is also shown.
