一个二维巴特勒矩阵馈电网络的设计，实现，并与60 GHz的2 × 2圆形贴片平面阵列芯片到芯片的通信集成。所实现的天线模块是一个薄的多层微带结构的足迹小到足以适应一个典型的多核芯片。该网络使端射（方位角）扫描阵列主波束在四个对角方向，这是第一次在这封信中。该天线模块为多核多芯片（MCMC）系统中实现可重构芯片间通信提供了一种无缝而实用的方法。提出了一种利用表面波耦合的混合空间表面波互连。该矩阵是一个四输入，四输出，即，4 x 4，网络由四个相互连接的正交（90度）混合耦合器组成。制作了一个由五个天线模块组成的多天线模块（MAM），用于模拟MCMC系统中的对角芯片间通信。对MAM上天线模块之间的传输系数进行了仿真和测量，并进行了比较。
A two-dimensional Butler matrix feed network is designed, implemented, and integrated with a 60 GHz 2 x 2 circular patch planar array for chip-to-chip communications. The realized antenna module is a thin multilayer microstrip structure with a footprint small enough to fit over a typical multicore chip. The network enables endfire (azimuthal) scan of the array main beam in the four diagonal directions, which is demonstrated for the first time in this letter. The antenna module provides a seamless and practical way to achieve reconfigurable interchip communication in multicore multichip (MCMC) systems. A hybrid space-surface wave interconnect is proposed that takes advantage of surface-wave coupling. The matrix is a four-input, four-output, i.e., 4 x 4, network consisting of four interconnected quadrature (90 degrees) hybrid couplers. A multiantenna module (MAM) consisting of five antenna modules that emulates diagonal interchip communication in MCMC systems is fabricated. The simulation and measurement of transmission coefficients between the antenna modules on the MAM are performed and compared.
