Description
Included here are figures and other relevant data from the paper "A distributed theory for contactless interconnects at terahertz frequencies". Abstract: Here we test a multimodal model for distributed contactless interconnects by comparing it to 3D full-wave simulations. In comparison to 3D simulations, the model offers insight into how the interconnect works and reduces the computational cost of estimating the interconnect?s performance. We predict the performance of four distributed contactless interconnects and find good agreement between our multimodal model and 3D simulations up to 1 THz. All the interconnects have less than 1 dB insertion loss in their first pass bands, highlighting the opportunity offered by contactless interconnects.
