SBIR Phase I: Next Generation Fast Fourier Transform-Based Instrumentation

这个小企业创新研究第一阶段项目为诊断系统和科学仪器物理层的设计者面临的基本挑战提供了一个解决方案。目前，许多这些仪器在频域监测和分析信号和系统，并且几乎用于所有技术努力。目前，这些系统要么在速度上，要么在面积/功率上，都是受计算机限制的。第一阶段的目标是开发一种名为GAUSS的创新仪器技术，该技术将达到速度/功率性能的新标准，并在此过程中开发新的强大的测试和测量产品。利用所提出的技术，工程师可以快速为测试和测量市场提供系统单片（SoC）解决方案。作为一种半导体IP技术，GAUSS技术可用于开发高端和嵌入式SoC解决方案。这种强大的设计范式将为负责开发未来诊断和仪器产品物理层的设计工程师提供帮助，这些产品需要不断提高性能、降低成本利润率和缩短上市时间。

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project offers a solution to the fundamental challenge facing the designers of the physical layer of diagnostic systems and scientific instruments. Many of these instruments currently monitor and analyze signals and systems in the frequency domain, and are used in virtually every technical endeavor. Currently these systems are compute-bound, either in speed or area/power. The Phase I aims to develop an innovative instrumentation technology, called GAUSS, that will achieve a new standard in speed/power performance and, in the process, enable the development of new and powerful test and measurement products. Using the proposed technology, engineers can rapidly enable system-on-a-chip (SoC) solutions for the test and measurement market. Marketed as a semiconductor IP technology, the GAUSS technology can be used to develop both high-end and embedded SoC solutions. This powerful design paradigm will become available to design engineers responsible for developing the physical layer of future diagnostic and instrument products requiring ever increasing performance, lower cost margins, and time-to-market advantages.
