The goal of this project is to communicate data at 40 Gb/s, equivalent to 25 parallel channels of uncompressed high-definition digital television, over 50 meters of television cable.  This is roughly one order of magnitude beyond the current state-of-the-art and close to the theoretical limit of the cable's capacity.  Two potential system architectures will be pursued.  The first requires a high-power transmitter to overcome the cable's losses.  The second relies on sophisticated signal processing to recover the noisy data. The investigators are two world-leaders in the areas of high-frequency integrated circuit design for digital communication applications at the University of Toronto.  The project will leverage the University of Toronto's unique test facilities for high-frequency integrated circuit characterization.  Graduate students will make use of the world's most advanced fabrication technologies.  During the course of the 3-year project, 8 - 10 highly qualified personnel will be trained for Canada's $130-billion information and communications technologies sector.  At the same time, the research results will confer a strong competitive advantage in communications electronics to Candadian industry.  The project is supported by Gennum Corporation of Burlington, Ontario, an industry leader in video transport and digital communications integrated circuits.

该项目的目标是以40 Gb/s的速度传输数据，相当于25个并行通道的未压缩高清数字电视，超过50米的电视电缆。这大约是一个数量级超过目前的最先进水平，并接近理论极限的电缆的容量。两个潜在的系统架构将追求。第一个需要高-第二种方法依靠复杂的信号处理来恢复有噪声的数据。两位研究人员是多伦多大学在数字通信应用高频集成电路设计领域的世界领导者。该项目将利用多伦多大学独特的高频集成电路特性测试设施。研究生将利用世界上最先进的制造技术。在三年的项目过程中，该项目将为加拿大1300亿美元的信息和通信技术产业培养8 - 10名高素质人才，同时，研究成果将赋予加拿大通信电子产业强大的竞争优势。该项目得到了安大略伯灵顿的Gennum公司的支持。
