MRI: Equipment Acquisition in Support of Research into the Design of Next-Generation High-Speed System-on-a-Chip Designs

ei - 99772111 najm, Farid NHajj, Ibrahim n .伊利诺斯州大学mri：支持下一代高速单片系统设计研究的设备采购本研究的总体目标是证明单片系统设计提供了许多优势，并利用它们开发迄今为止不可能实现的新应用。这一建议需要必要的仪器来进行前沿研究。提议收购Sun Microsystems服务器（将用于运行大型设计软件包，如Cadence和Avant），泰克（Tektronix）的数字测试仪（将执行高级DSP芯片和高速ADC/DAC设计实现的高速测试和验证）和惠普（Hewlett-Packard）的网络分析仪（用于测试RF模拟芯片和测量s参数）。这些设备将用于下列研究项目：(i)设计高性能、低功耗的多媒体数字信号处理器和通信系统；（ii）设计无线便携式多媒体芯片的软件无线电；（iii）设计射频模拟输入的ESD保护电路；以及（iv）设计多媒体片上系统。

EIA-9977211Najm, Farid NHajj, Ibrahim N.University of IllinoisMRI: Equipment Acquisition in Support of Research into the Design of Next-Generation High-Speed System-on-a-Chip DesignsThe overall goal of this research is to demonstrate that the system-on-a-chip design offers a number of advantages and to make use of them to develop new applications that have not been possible to date. This proposal requests essential instrumentation to carry out the cutting-edge research. It is proposed to acquire Sun Microsystems servers (which will be used to run large design software packages, like Cadence and Avant), a digital tester from Tektronix (which will perform high speed testing and verification of advanced DSP chips and high-speed ADC/DAC designs implementation) and a network analyzer from Hewlett-Packard (to be used to test RF analog chips and measure S-parameters). The equipment will be used to carry out the following research projects: (i) design of high-performance, low-power multimedia DSP and communications systems, (ii) design of software radio for wireless portable multimedia chip, (iii) design of ESD protection circuits of RF analog inputs and (iv) design of a multimedia system-on-a-chip.
