Impact of circuit non-idealities on wireless interconnect based on OOK modulated RF transceiver

In this work, a system model for RF wireless interconnect has been proposed based on digital on-off keying (OOK) modulated RF transceiver with 2Gb/s transmission rate and 40GHz carrier frequency. To evaluate performance of wireless interconnect, the impact of critical non-idealities caused by circuit blocks has been analyzed and simulated in Matlab® Simulink® environment. A set of rough circuit specifications and BER performances of such system are obtained, through which key points during actual circuit design has come into view. The result of this work has verified the potential feasibility and reliability, and pointed out possible circuit design stresses for wireless interconnect system.
