The low loss and wide dispersion-free bandwidth of Sommerfeld-wave propagation on a single conductor wire (SCW) promises energy-efficient high data rate links. The first fully-integrated end-to-end wireline transceiver system on a SCW using Sommerfeld-wave propagation mode is demonstrated using a 60-GHz carrier frequency. Implemented in 65-nm CMOS, the proposed system includes on-chip radial-mode antennas as well as integrated serializers, 60-GHz OOK modulator, demodulator, deserializers and clocking. The link achieves 7 Gb/s data rate across 20-cm of 26AWG bare copper wire (diameter = 0.4 mm), while consuming 70.9 mW of power. Operating at 6 Gb/s and 7 Gb/s, this work achieves BER < 10 −12 and 10 − 5 respectively.
