The continued migration to smaller nanometer geometries brought fundamental limits to traditional on-chip hard wires performance. According to the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductor (ITRS), feature size shrinking leads an increase in the operating frequency of RFCMOS devices. Thus, new interconnect methodologies such as radio frequency (RF) wireless can be employed on future chips projected for intra-chip wireless data communications. The size of Si integrated antenna in these frequencies will be several millimetres and the antenna length will be decrease by frequency increasing. In this paper, we have proposed an optimum radiation pattern achieved by a phased array (PA)... 

We propose a new architecture for on-chip routing of optical packets. The proposed infrastructure, referred to as CONoC, facilitates the development of an all-optical on-chip network and alleviates the role of electrical NoCs. As the first step for designing an all-optical NoC, CONoC resolves packet congestions optically and does not use electrical methods. Utilizing wavelength routing method, wavelength division multiplexing, and path reconfiguration capability in CONoC leads to a contention-free architecture. This architectural advantage along with simple and small photonic router architecture results in simple electrical transactions, reduced setup latency, and high transmission capacity....
