Abstract:
1. An integrated circuit comprising: a plurality of circuits including a plurality of millimeter wave interfaces for communicating data between the plurality of circuits via millimeter wave RF signaling; at least one power supply line, coupled to the plurality of circuits for supplying at least one direct current (DC) power supply signal from an external source to the plurality of circuits, wherein the at least one power supply line includes a plurality of antenna elements to facilitate the communicating of first data between the plurality of circuits via the millimeter wave RF signaling that is carried via the at least one power supply line, wherein the at least one power supply line includes a plurality of inductive elements that are connected along a linear pathway in an alternating series connection with the plurality of antenna elements to block electrical conduction of the millimeter wave RF signaling between adjacent ones of the plurality antenna elements along the linear pathway while passing the at least one direct current (DC) power supply signal along the linear pathway.
