WEDNESDAY, June 15, 2005, 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM | Room: 210AB
TOPIC AREA:  WIRELESS (methods)

   SESSION 18
  Wireless Session: Wireless Driving Innovations in Design Methodology
  Chair: Ingrid Verbauwhede - Univ. of California and K.U. Leuven, Los Angeles, CA
  Organizers: Ingrid Verbauwhede

  The complexity of wireless systems together with the resource constraints (area, power, cost) requires the use of advanced design methods. In this session three examples are given. The first paper describes how low cost, reliable antennas can be built on printed circuit boards using a combination of 2.5D and 3D EM simulators with PCB design tools. The second paper describes design steps used to design a parametrizable IP core for a wireless channel estimation engine. The third paper describes cross-layer system design methods to combine low power with flexibility in radios.
