\\Main Objectives of the Project

\\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.
