Project description
Nanoelectronics
MOBILIS project's aim was to develop a BAW-SMR filtering technology with high power durability.
Digital Radio transmission for applications such as short distance radio links is coming closer to reality. A significant effort is however still needed to port Digital Radio to Cellular. The major bottleneck towards the "software radio" is the high-frequency part of the radio transceiver. Analog-to-digital or digital-to-analog conversion right at the antenna is far beyond what state of the art technology is able to deliver.An alternative solution to bring the digital-to-analog interface closer to the antenna in the transmitter is using bandpass delta-sigma modulation. The reconfigurability of such a transmitter for multi-mode communication systems depends on the availability of appropriate high-power RF filters and on the reconfigurability of the power amplifier to address different bandwidths and power requirements.The objective of MOBILIS is two-fold: develop a robust and cost-effective integrated high-power RF filtering technology and demonstrate, based on that technology, the feasibility of a mixed SoC (nanometric CMOS/system integration) and SiP (BiCMOS/power-BAW) RF power transmitter. The targeted transmitter is based on a Digital Radio transmitter architecture and addresses both the WCDMA and DCS standards.To reach this objective, a series of intermediate technological objectives will be achieved:- Investigation of above IC integration of new materials on 200 mm wafers,- Investigation of the power handling capabilities of the BAW technology,- Development of a new non-linear SMR-type BAW model,- Implementation of the new model in a CAD software for power-BAW filter design,- Integration of two band filters on the same wafer,- Development of a reconfigurable power amplifier,- Development of integrated test-benches at the circuit and system levels.The MOBILIS project addresses one strong element of the IST call which is Nanoelectronics.
