In my previous blog I wrote about four papers being presented at ISSCC next week that contribute to our efforts in Tera-scale Computing. Today, I’d like continue scanning through the ISSCC abstracts and highlight four other papers, which I’d categorize … Continue reading →

For Intel’s hardcore lab jocks, one the most exciting events each year is the International Solid States Circuits Conference. It’s the Olympics of circuit design, where top researchers from industry and academia present their latest advancements in computing and communications … Continue reading →

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 … Continue reading →

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 … Continue reading →

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 … Continue reading →

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 … Continue reading →

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 … Continue reading →

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 … Continue reading →

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 … Continue reading →

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 … Continue reading →
