Abstract
Embodiments herein may relate to an interconnect that includes a transceiver, wherein the transceiver is configured to generate a single side band (SSB) signal for communication over a waveguide and a waveguide interconnect to communicate the SSB signal over the waveguide. In an example, an SSB operator is configured to generate the SSB signal and the SSB signal can be generated by use of a finite-impulse response filter. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Claims14
An interconnect comprising:
- a transceiver, wherein the transceiver includes a single side band operator block to convert a received signal into two intermediate frequency signals that are filtered, upconverted, and combined to generate a single side band (SSB) millimeter (mm) wave signal for communication over a dielectric waveguide from a first server to a second server, wherein the SSB signal has a frequency between 30 gigahertz (GHz) and 300 GHz;
- and
- a waveguide interconnect that includes a waveguide signal launcher, the waveguide interconnect to communicate the SSB mm wave signal over the dielectric waveguide, wherein the waveguide interconnect is to receive the SSB signal from the transceiver and transmit the SSB signal over the dielectric waveguide.
A server blade comprising:
- a dielectric waveguide to propagate a signal between a first component of the server blade and a second component of the server blade;
- a device to generate a single side band (SSB) signal for communication over the dielectric waveguide, wherein the device includes a single side band operator block to convert a received signal into two intermediate frequency signals that are filtered, upconverted, and combined to generate the SSB signal, wherein the SSB signal has a frequency between 30 gigahertz (GHz) and 300 GHz;
- and
- a waveguide interconnect coupled with the device and the dielectric waveguide, wherein the waveguide interconnect includes a waveguide signal launcher and is to receive the SSB signal from the device and transmit the SSB signal over the dielectric waveguide.
A system for enabling a single side band (SSB) transmission from a first server to a second server over a waveguide comprising:
- a transceiver located in the first server, wherein the transceiver includes a single side band operator block to convert a received signal into two intermediate frequency signals that are filtered, upconverted, and combined to generate an SSB signal for communication over the waveguide, wherein the SSB signal has a frequency between 30 gigahertz (GHz) and 300 GHz;
- and
- a waveguide interconnect coupled with the transceiver, wherein the waveguide interconnect includes a waveguide signal launcher, wherein the waveguide interconnect is to receive the SSB signal from the transceiver and communicate the SSB signal over the waveguide to a receiver in the second server.
