Unconventional Logic Elements on the Base of Topologically Modulated Signals

Abstract

The paper presents new results in the field of super high-speed and multi-valued signal processing. Writting digital information into spatial structures (topological charts) of electromagnetic field pulses allows to use passive circuits for fulfillment several subpicosecond spatial logical operations. This is confirmed by analysis of several physical effects in solids and micron circuits, which influence on time delay of signals. A subpicosecond circuit for spatially modulated signal switching is considered. An analogy between electromagnetic mode physics and several aspects of quantum mechanics is studied. On this base a new digital multi-valued device for spatially modulated signal processing is suggested and modeled. A conclusion on possibility to design a new threedimensional architecture of super-density IC has been made.
