Abstract:
Interest in Reconfigurability with terminals, basestations
and also whole networks is significantly rising. Various research
projects look at reconfigurability from an end to end perspective
of a communication link. This implies that reconfigurability
is reflected with the baseband signal processing part as well
as with the RF part of a communication device. The workshop
therefore addresses aspect of reconfigurability with RF through
offering frequency agility with the radio and with baseband
processing through reconfigurable digital signal processing.
Frequency agility is therefore understood as one aspect of
a general view on software radio to realize Multimode devices
that are Multistandard and Multiband capable. A great challenge
with reconfigurable devices is the optimization for the right
balance between analog and digital signal processing and the
way how imperfections of the hardware are compensated. The
level of reconfigurability further depends on the tuneability
of the used materials, the components and the architectural
choices made. For cost efficient implementations of reconfigurable
devices, integration techniques play a key role. |
