Inventing the Future
posted by Krishnamurthy "Soumya" Soumyanath on February 17, 2009 at Research@Intel
A famous American philosopher (lets call him FAP in the time honored Intel acronym tradition) once famously said that “It’s hard to predict anything, especially the future.” Here I attempt to take on FAP through the prism of ISSCC; the...

ISSCC: Circuit innovations to make the world a greener place
posted by Gregory F. Taylor on February 12, 2009 at Research@Intel
I attended ISSCC this week, the first time in many years that I’ve attended. It was a smaller affair than I remembered, driven I’m sure by recent events. Those same events colored much of the discussion in the hallways. Clearly...

Digital technique to calibrate radio components down to 1/10'000'000'000'000 of a second
posted by Stefano Pellerano on February 09, 2009 at Research@Intel
Radios are used extensively today to access the internet on the go; for example, WiFi is present in virtually all new laptops today. One of the key components of a radio is the high-frequency oscillator that is used to generate...

Stefano Pellerano on 60 GHz Radios
posted by Guest Blogger on March 13, 2008 at Research@Intel
Wireless is cool. But nobody wants a slow wireless connection. However, fast wireless means large bandwidth and in today’s crowded spectrum bandwidth is a scarce resource. Recently, 60GHz radio (often referred to as mm-wave radio) has attracted the attention of...

Hasnain Lakdawala on a spectrum sensing, reconfigurable ADC
posted by Guest Blogger on March 12, 2008 at Research@Intel
One of the consequences of widespread use of wireless is that the spectrum is getting crowded. Radio standards must be designed to operate under this rather hostile environment with the presence of a lot of blocking signals in the channels...

Yorgos Palaskas on a 65nm CMOS Power Amplifier for multi radio
posted by Guest Blogger on March 10, 2008 at Research@Intel
Power amplifiers are used in wireless systems to transmit the desired information from the user device to the base station. Power amplifiers used in cellular systems typically deliver significant amounts of power (~1Watt) in order to be able to communicate...
