Embodiment Construction

[0022]Certain aspects of the invention may be found in a method and system for clock distribution utilizing leaky wave antennas. Exemplary aspects of the invention may comprise configuring one or more voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO) in a wireless device to oscillate at one or more desired clock frequencies and configuring a plurality of leaky wave antennas for communicating at a resonant frequency corresponding to the clock frequencies. One or more clock signals may be generated at the one or more desired clock frequencies utilizing the VCO. The generated clock signals may be communicated via one or more leaky wave antennas to one or more receiving leaky wave antennas in the wireless device, and the received signals may be amplified utilizing one or more low-noise amplifiers (LNAs). A resonant frequency of the plurality of leaky wave antennas may be configured utilizing micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) deflection. A plurality of the leaky wave antennas may be configured ...

Abstract

Methods and systems for clock distribution utilizing leaky wave antennas (LWAs) in a wireless device are disclosed and may include configuring voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO) to generate one or more clock signals at desired clock frequencies and configuring LWAs at a resonant frequency corresponding to the clock frequencies, which may be generated at the desired clock frequencies utilizing the VCO. The clock signals may be communicated via LWAs in the wireless device and may be amplified utilizing one or more low-noise amplifiers. A resonant frequency of the LWAs may be configured utilizing micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) deflection. LWAs may be configured to enable beamforming. One or more of the LWAs may comprise microstrip or coplanar waveguides, wherein a cavity height of the LWAs is dependent on spacing between conductive lines in the waveguides. The LWAs may be integrated in one or more integrated circuits, integrated circuit packages, and/or printed circuit boards.
