In this research we study how power can be saved in the baseband processor of an OFDM transceiver from the knowledge of an end application to which the transmitted or received data is applied. The specific applications that we study are image and video transmission across a wireless link. It is assumed that edge detection (image) and object tracking (video) is to be performed on the received data...
Design and test of high-speed mixed-signal/RF circuits and systems is undergoing a transformation due to the effects of process variations stemming from the use of scaled CMOS technologies that result in significant yield loss. To this effect, post-manufacture tuning for yield recovery is now a necessity for many high-speed electronic circuits and systems and is typically driven by iterative test-and-tune...
The recent demand in wireless standards capable of providing short-range, high-speed data transfer has accelerated the growth of the Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) standard. MB-OFDM (Multi Band Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) UWB devices suffer from frequency dependent non-idealities due to extreme wideband operation (3.1 to 10.6 GHz). Further these characteristics are subjected to process variations...
High-volume manufacturing of current generation orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transceivers mandates testing for error-vector-magnitude (EVM) at production testing. During EVM test, a modulated RF input signal is down-converted and demodulated to obtain the output baseband digital data and EVM is computed by processing the baseband digital data. Hence, production testing of OFDM...
As technology scales below the 45 nm CMOS technology node, RF front ends and baseband processors will need to be aggressively over designed to work reliably under worst case channel (environment) conditions as well as worst case manufacturing variations. In this paper, a new dual feedback based design approach is proposed that allows the baseband unit of a wireless OFDM system to adapt dynamically...
In many DSP applications (image and voice processing, baseband symbol decoding in high quality communication channels) several dBs of SNR loss can be tolerated without noticeable impact on system level performance. For power optimization in such applications, voltage overscaling can be used to operate the arithmetic circuitry slower than the critical circuit path delay while incurring tolerable SNR...
As channel conditions in wireless communications improve, the noise performance of the baseband DSP processor can be degraded to save power without compromising bit error rate. The degradation of baseband signal noise is achieved by degrading the noise performance (reducing the wordlength and supply voltage) of the various baseband signal processing modules in specific proportions defined by a locus,...
