Objective
The main objective of the OCMP project is to provide the market with a highly integrated low power transceiver chip, which addresses two modes of operation, DCS1800 and DECT, and can be used in future generation multi-mode terminals. The chip will contain high frequency bipolar circuits including frequency synthesizer components, up/down converting mixers, 900 phase shifters, LNA, etc.
The direct conversion architecture will be adopted for the transceiver, thus allowing the maximum possible integration and, compared to the classical heterodyne approach, requiring fewer external components.
A single mode DECT transceiver chip with direct conversion architecture will also be developed. This development, combined with existing partners' research results in a DCS1800 transceiver test chip development, will contribute to the definition of the multi-mode transceiver chip specifications.
Compliance to DECT and DCS1800 modes will be demonstrated using the multi-mode transceiver chip in a multi-mode terminal demonstrator by verifying proper operation in each individual mode.
The extension of the transceiver chip to the GSM standard will be studied.
The OCMP project will apply proven analog low power design techniques to develop a single chip radio frontend for multi-mode (DCS1800 & DECT standards) hand portable terminal. It will include frequency synthesizer components, up/down converter blocks and amplifier blocks, such as LNA and prepower amplifier. The aim of the project is to prepare the way for the commercial availability of such an innovative component assisting significantly the small system companies which manufacture portable terminals and wish to enter the multi-mode terminal market.
