摘要程序：NSF 04-588 CISE计算研究架构标题：CRI：收购下一代宽带通信系统研究仪器基础设施提案：CNS 0551735 PI：Heydari，Payam机构：加州大学欧文分校的研究人员将获得测试和测量设备，用于综合研究和教育，重点是设计和实施新型纳米材料。下一代无线和有线宽带通信系统的规模电路。具体研究将在三个方面进行：（1）将介绍用于设计缩放硅技术（如100 GHz硅基集成无线电）的高性能前端电路的方法。这项工作将扩展到整个高数据速率无线收发器（包括超宽带（UWB）和多输入多输出无线系统）的设计和实现中的PI之间的密切合作。(2)在宽带有线系统设计领域，该小组将研究以40 Gb/s及更高速度运行的基于硅的电路/系统实现，同时解决环境噪声源的影响（例如，串扰、电源/接地噪声、衬底噪声）对这些电路的性能的影响。(3)最后，高频测量（特别是抖动和相位噪声测量）将是一个研究领域。测量研究和培训，与工业和大学工程学院的其他团体合作，以及系统设计，电路，天线和半导体的研究将创造一个强大的跨学科活动。该项目更广泛的影响包括提供一个实验设施，支持电路和系统的培训和研究，促进知识转移到欧文地区的行业，并支持Calit 2的宽带多媒体接入活动。

AbstractProgram: NSF 04-588 CISE Computing Research InfrastructureTitle: CRI: Acquisition of Research Instrumentation Infrastructure for Next-Generation Broadband Communication Systems Proposal: CNS 0551735PI: Heydari, PayamInstitution: University of California-Irvine Researchers at the University of California-Irvine will acquire test and measurement equipment for integrated research and education focused on the design and implementation of novel nano-scale circuits for next generation, wireless and wireline, broadband communication systems. Specific research to be conducted is in three areas: (1) Methodologies will be introduced for the design of high performance front-end circuits in scaled silicon technologies such as 100GHz silicon based integrated radio. This effort will be extended to the design and implementation of the entire high data rate wireless transceiver (including both ultra-wideband (UWB) and multiple-input multiple output wireless systems) in a close collaboration among the PIs. (2) In the area of broadband wireline system design, the group will conduct research on silicon-based implementations of circuits/systems, operating at 40Gb/s and higher, while addressing the impact of environmental noise sources (e.g., crosstalk, power/ground noise, substrate noise) on the performance of these circuits. (3) Finally, high-frequency measurement (particularly jitter and phase noise measurements) will be an area for research. Research and training in measurement, collaborations with industry and other groups in the universitys College of Engineering, and research at system design, circuits, antennas, and semiconductors will create a strong interdisciplinary activity. Broader impacts of the project include providing an experimental facility supporting training and research in circuits and systems, promoting knowledge transfer to industry in the Irvine area, and supporting the Broadband Multimedia Access activities of Calit2.
