CMOS Circuits and Systems for Broadband Wireless Communication

该项目将探索电路和系统，以降低我们的通信基础设施和移动设备的无线通信设备的成本和功耗。低成本灵活的射频收发器实现低平均功耗，很少，如果有的话，寻求外部组件。具体地说，将研究无线接收器电子器件对不需要的干扰信号的弹性，以及具有高光谱纯度的发射器。新技术将以先进的纳米级CMOS技术为原型，为研究生提供独特的培训，并确保工作的高商业相关性和影响力。该研究将由2名教师共同研究人员，5名研究生和来自合作公司ADI公司的研究人员进行。ADI在该领域的研究和开发方面处于世界领先地位，多年来，合作的多伦多办事处一直专注于无线基础设施的模拟电路和数据转换器，使他们成为该项目的完美合作伙伴。该项目为加拿大合作伙伴公司提供了良好的培训机会，并增强了竞争力，这一切都是为了追求加拿大日益依赖的无线通信设备的低成本和低功耗。

This project will explore circuits and systems to reduce the cost and power consumption of wireless communication equipment, both in our communication infrastructure and in mobile devices. Low-cost flexible RF transceivers achieving low average power consumption with few, if any, external components are sought. Specifically, wireless receiver electronics that are resilient to unwanted interfering signals, and transmitters with high spectral purity will be researched. New technologies will be prototyped in advanced nanoscale CMOS technologies, providing unique training for graduate students, and ensuring the work's high commercial relevance and impact. The research will be undertaken by 2 faculty co-investigators, 5 graduate students, and researchers from the partner company, Analog Devices Canada Inc. (ADI). ADI is a world leader in research and development in this area, and for several years the collaborating Toronto office has been focused specifically on analog circuits and data converters for wireless infrastructure, making them a perfect partner for the project. The project offers outstanding training opportunities and enhanced competitiveness for the Canadian partner company, all in pursuit of lower cost and power consumption for the wireless communication equipment upon which Canada increasingly relies.
