IMST is one of the leading European R&D companies in mobile telecommunications with a stuff of approximately 120 people. Most of them are mainly working as R&D engineer or scientist. IMST has its main activities divided in four main departments, which are Antenna Design and Test including EMC testing, Communication Systems, PCB and Hybrid Modules (LTCC) and Integrated Circuits and Systems.
IMST is the coordinator of the MuMoR project and is managing the consortium towards the successful achievement of the project goals and objectives. Beside this function as a coordinator IMST is concentrating in research of RF integrated circuits and systems for re-configurable radios.

The Laboratoire d'Electronique Generale (LEG) of the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) currently reaches 45 persons. Research at the LEG is specifically oriented in the design of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, and in the development of innovative CAD tools and techniques in the same area. Expertise has specifically been developed in some niches that include Switched Capacitors (SC) techniques, low power and low voltage design, RF circuits for telecommunication applications, interface circuits for integrated microsystems, as well as high-voltage and high-temperature analog circuit techniques.
The LEG is in charge of the TX and RX VCOs for multi-mode operation (UMTS, HSPDA, and eventually GSM). The LEG also proposes a method called "bias adaptation" to improve the power efficiency of TX RF linear power amplifiers in the case of the W-CDMA FDD standard. This technique consists to adapt dynamically the power drawn from the battery according to the envelope of the RF modulated signal in order to find the optimal trade-off between the linearity and the power efficiency of the RF amplifier. The LEG has also a strong experience in mixed-signal wireless IC problems and developed a suite of tools for these tasks (LAYIN, currently SubstrateStorm of Simplex). More recently, an improved version of these tools, called “FastBEM”, which considerably accelerate the parasitic substrate computation without a significant loss of accuracy, has been developed. The tools SubstrateStorm and FastBEM will be used to verify and compare the efficiency of the different isolation strategies and therefore to achieve the optimal quiet noise environment.

Nokia is the world leader in mobile communications. Backed by its experience, innovation, userfriendliness and secure solutions, the company has become the leading supplier of mobile phones and a leading supplier of mobile, fixed and IP networks. By adding mobility to the Internet Nokia creates new opportunities for companies and further enriches the daily lives of people. Nokia is a broadly held company with listings on six major exchanges.
Nokia Research Center, the corporate research unit, drives Nokia's technological competitiveness and renewal in technology areas vital for the company's future success. Interacting closely with all Nokia business units, the research center supports Nokia's evolving core businesses by developing new concepts, technologies and applications. Focusing beyond current product development, the research center aggressively develops disruptive technologies and also acts as an incubator for new technology-oriented ventures with clear business insight.
The Electronics Laboratory of the Nokia Research Center, which is participating in MuMoR, undertakes research in advanced electronics implementation technologies. It also contributes to the specification of telecommunication systems and works with Nokia business units on the use of design methods and tools. Key fields of technology are RF circuits, ASICs, embedded systems, design methodologies and tools, photonics, packaking and interconnections, reliability and thermal design, precision mechanics and environmental solutions.

The Mobile Communication Research Group is a strong group within CCSR (Centre for Communications Systems Research) at the University of Surrey (UniS), with 65 members and is the largest research group in the field of mobile communications in the UK. The group has extensive expertise in the GSM, GPRS, IS-95, DAB/DVB, HiperLAN and 3G, network integration, multiple access technology, multimedia communication systems, Positioning techniques, IP, Mobile IP and Cellular IP, ATM and broadband satellite communications and also applications of new software technologies such as Mobile and Intelligent Agent, JAVA and CORBA for realization of future software telecommunications. UniS is involved in MuMoR in the development of reconfigurable baseband architecture and algorithms. Algorithms will be developed and optimised with respect to intra and inter mode reconfigurability.
