Collaborative Research: A Heterogenous Integrated, Self Powered Wireless System

集成、混合和复杂系统Saeed Mohammadi，普渡大学Zoya B. Popovic，科罗拉多大学博尔德分校合作研究：异构集成、自供电无线系统智力优点：该项目考虑了低成本、无电池（即不需要传统电池）、小型化、灵敏、低功耗和高效的无线收发器的设计和实现。 该研究采用最近开发的异构集成技术，将超低功耗亚阈值互补金属氧化物半导体（CMOS）射频（RF）接收器芯片与高效功率放大器和嵌入式无源元件集成在一起。 该集成系统可用作自供电长距离、高数据速率无线传感器节点以及植入式小型电子系统。 应用包括监测体内活动、神经驱动和药物输送。更广泛的影响：这项研究将影响研究和教育以及市场。 该研究将与合作机构的多个本科生和研究生课程相关联。 重点将放在通过科罗拉多大学现有项目吸引代表性不足的本科生和研究生，包括“SMART”和“IMPART”项目以及国家科学基金会颁发的研究生教育项目联盟（AGEP）奖。 这项研究还将与普渡大学现有的招聘计划、NSF 研究生教育联盟 (AGEP) 奖、NSF 支持的印第安纳路易斯·斯托克少数族裔合作联盟 (LSAMP)、NSF 综合研究生教育和研究培训 (IGERT) 奖、教育部国家需要领域研究生援助 (GAANN) 奖以及社区服务工程项目 (EPICS) 计划相结合。 研究人员将建立 EPICS 和研究生课程项目。 研究成果将通过科学期刊上的出版物和技术会议上的演讲广泛传播。

Integrative, Hybrid and Complex SystemsSaeed Mohammadi, Purdue UniversityZoya B. Popovic, University of Colorado at BoulderCOLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: A Heterogeneous Integrated, Self Powered Wireless SystemIntellectual Merit: This project considers the design and implementation of a wireless transceiver that is low cost, battery-less (i.e., does not require traditional batteries), miniaturized, sensitive, low power, and highly efficient. The research uses a recently developed heterogeneous integration technology to integrate an ultra-low power subthreshold complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) radio frequency (RF) receiver chip with a highly efficient power amplifier and embedded passive components. The integrated system can be used as a self-powered long-range and high data-rate wireless sensor node as well as an implantable miniaturized electronic system. Applications include monitoring in-vivo activities, nerve actuation, and drug delivery.Broader Impact: This research will impact research and education, as well as the marketplace. The research will be linked to multiple undergraduate and graduate courses at the collaborating institutions. Emphasis will be placed in attracting underrepresented undergraduate and graduate students through existing programs at the University of Colorado, including the "SMART" and "IMPART" programs and an Alliances for Graduate Education Program (AGEP) award from the National Science Foundation. This research will also be integrated with existing recruitment programs at Purdue University, an NSF Alliances For Graduate Education (AGEP) award, the NSF-supported Indiana Louis Stock Alliance for Minority Partnership (LSAMP), an NSF Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT) award, a Department of Education Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAANN) award, and the Engineering Projects In Community Service (EPICS) program. The investigators will establish EPICS and graduate course projects. Research results will be disseminated broadly via publications in scientific journal and presentations at technical conferences.
