Cancellation of Delays in the High-Rate Interconnects with UWB NGD Active Cells

This paper is devoted to the extension of the interconnect effect equalization concept with NGD circuits for UWB applications. First, RC interconnect effects are considered. It was found that by cascading with the NGD structure, the propagation delay of the considered rate 4 Gbps signal was compensated for about 98-%. Then, the feasibility of the technique by taking into account the interconnection inductive effect with RLC-model is also investigated. It was demonstrated that the technique proposed brings opportunities to compensate for simultaneously the propagation delay and distortions. Then, the application of the proposed technique for the optical interconnect correction is discussed.
