Seminar Series: Technology Trends 2005
DIRECTIONS IN WIRELESS IC's
Neil
Weste, Macquarie University
In most technological areas, new fields are found by
probing the bounds of current technology. In the field of wireless
communications, this can be construed as much faster communication
rates while maintaining power and range budgets or much slower
communication rates while drastically reducing power and/or
increasing range. Usually, out of these examinations pop new
application areas. This talk will examine two development activities
currently being undertaken in Australia in these polar areas.
Firstly an overview of the asset tracking tags being designed by g2
microsystems will be given. These extremely complex "RF systems on
chip" are being designed by the world-class ex-Radiata team.
Secondly, research efforts underway at Macquarie University , the
University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia in
conjunction with NHEW R&D, in the area of wireless gigabit rates at
60+GHz will be highlighted. Both efforts are aimed at continuing to
create lasting value from Australia 's recent RFIC success in the
802.11 arena.
