Generally, copper traces are widely used to provide communication among integrated circuits (IC's) of printed circuit board (PCB). In case of high rate data transfer, systems or traces may be damaged due to trace resistivity. In order to overcome this issue, surface wave phenomenon based channel/waveguide is introduced for IC communication in this work. Here, high frequency communication is possible due to both conductivity and dielectric behaviors of surface waves. Use of Zenneck surface instead of copper traces with Encircle Routing (ER) based channel assignment helps to achieve efficient IC communication. High rate of data transfer with low channel dispersion are major benefits of ER based Zenneck surface wave communication. Matlab working platform is used for design analysis by means of attenuation, field decay, skin depth, channel dispersion, power saving rate and signal voltage gain. Also, performance analysis is taken within the frequency range of 50 to 500 GHz to explore a deterministic channel communication between the IC's as an alternate of copper traces.

Zenneck 表面波互连，具有环形布线，可实现有效的芯片间通信

通常，铜迹线广泛用于提供印刷电路板 (PCB) 的集成电路 (IC) 之间的通信。在高速数据传输的情况下，系统或走线可能会因走线电阻率而损坏。为了克服这个问题，在这项工作中引入了基于表面波现象的信道/波导用于 IC 通信。在这里，由于表面波的导电性和介电性，高频通信是可能的。使用 Zenneck 表面代替铜迹线和基于环形路由 (ER) 的通道分配有助于实现高效的 I2C 通信。基于 ER 的 Zenneck 表面波通信的主要优点是高数据传输速率和低信道色散。Matlab工作平台用于通过衰减、场衰减、趋肤深度、信道色散、节电率和信号电压增益。此外，性能分析是在 50 到 500 GHz 的频率范围内进行的，以探索作为替代铜迹线的 IC 之间的确定性信道通信。
