Abstract: A wave cable transceiver system is disclosed incorporating an air-core or noble gas filled hollow plastic waveguide. The system may include a transmitter receiver, in-antennas and a tubular plastic waveguide with the inner air-core. The hollow plastic waveguide is a low loss and low dispersion guiding channel for the electromagnetic radiation.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, modules, and methods of communicating with memory devices utilizing multi-band communication containing a baseband and one or more amplitude shift keyed (ASK) RF channels over each differential pair of off-chip transmission lines. Configurations are described for interfacing between microprocessors, or controllers and memory devices or modules, and within a DIMM and its DRAM devices, and between multiple DIMM memory modules.

Abstract: A serializer and de-serializer circuit which is particularly well-suited for use in communicating digital data from one integrated circuit (chip) to another for implementing chip-to-chip communications is presented. The circuits are scalable and utilize a multi-frequency quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) mechanism for converting digital data bits from a parallel form into a serial analog stream for communication over a chip I/O connection. The serializer has multiple digital-to-analog converters (DACs) whose outputs are directed to QAM mixer inputs, within QAMs at multiple frequencies, whose outputs are summed into a single analog signal for communication over an I/O connection. The de-serializer amplifies the analog signal which is received by QAM mixers at different frequencies, whose outputs are low pass filtered and converted back to parallel digital data bits.

Abstract: A serializer and de-serializer circuit having self tracking circuitry which is particularly well-suited for use in communicating digital data from one integrated circuit (chip) to another for implementing chip-to-chip communications is presented. The circuits are scalable and utilize a multi-frequency modulation mechanism (e.g., QAM) for converting digital data bits into a serial analog stream at multiple frequencies for communication over a chip I/O connection. The track pulse generated on the transmitter side is serialized through the same path as the data, and demodulated through the same path in the de-serializer to provide synchronization with the data, without the need for complicated base band processing.

Abstract: Dielectric coupler devices and dielectric coupling systems for communicating EHF electromagnetic signals, and their methods of use. The coupler devices include an electrically conductive body having a major surface, the electrically conductive body defining an elongate recess, and the elongate recess having a floor, where a dielectric body is disposed in the elongate recess and configured to conduct an EHF electromagnetic signal.

Abstract: Dielectric conduits for the propagation of electromagnetic EHF signals include an elongate body of a dielectric material extending continuously along a longitudinal axis between a first terminus and a second terminus. At each point along the longitudinal axis, an orthogonal cross-section of the elongate body has a first dimension along a major axis of the cross-section, where the major axis extends along the largest dimension of the cross-section. The orthogonal cross-section also has a second dimension along a minor axis of the cross-section, where the minor axis extends along a widest dimension of the cross-section that is at a right angle to the major axis. For each cross-section of the elongate body, the first dimension is greater than the wavelength of the electromagnetic EHF signals and the second dimension is less than the wavelength of the electromagnetic EHF signals.
