MuMoR
\\Main Objectives of the Project
- The aim of this project is to investigate the impact of the mobile
terminal performance on the communication network infrastructure
- Today’s standards as well as future extension of UMTS towards
higher data rates (up to 10MBit/s) and their influence on the mobile
terminal architecture and components are considered
- RF front-end as well as base-band is investigated in order to find
a common re-configurable architecture which is flexible to adapt to
different standards
\\Description of the Project
Within this project, a promising system architecture for the RF front-end
and the base-band is defined. Based on the specifications from different
communication standards, the required performance for the main function
blocks is derived. Critical function blocks will be evaluated taking into
account advanced semiconductor technologies. Promising technologies like
SiGe-BiCMOS and MEMS will be considered for development of IPRs.
From achieved performance of function blocks, behaviour models will allow
system level simulations in order to predict the overall performance of
the entire terminal front-end. This will not only include RF / base-band
properties but also power supply and manufacturing costs related parameters.
The result of this project will be a suggestion for the most promising
system architecture for SDR terminals. For the main function blocks flexible
libraries will shorten the consideration of new standards as well as the
evaluation of new SDR concepts.
The participation on other SDR activities within the IST framework will
ensure consideration of all relevant aspects for the development of advanced
RF and base-band functionalities.
