03/13/2008: Stefano Pellerano on 60 GHz Radios

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...

03/12/2008: Hasnain Lakdawala on a spectrum sensing, reconfigurable ADC

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...

03/10/2008: Yorgos Palaskas on a 65nm CMOS Power Amplifier for multi radio

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...

02/03/2008: Krishnamurthy Soumyanath on ISSCC: Research steps to a Digital Multi Radio

Wireless communication is growing so fast that soon it might be difficult to get a decent wireless connection at your favorite coffee shop. At the Communications Circuits Lab of Intel Corporation, we have been doing research on techniques that will...

02/03/2008: Randy Mooney on ISSCC: Scaling performance/watt through circuit innovation

As we look forward to enabling exciting new opportunities in platforms ranging from mobile computing to the data center, along with associated new applications, one common denominator of all these products will be the underlying process technology and the circuits...
