由於採用數碼化多媒體產品的數量激增，及家用消費電子產品中使用多媒體內容的數量亦日漸增多，從而令到個人網絡設置中，以無線技術連接各種電子產品和個人電腦的需求也日益增加。以超寬帶（UWB）無線通訊技術為基礎的無線通用串行總線（WUSB）標準，已被運用於解決個人電腦的應用上，同時，業界對以智能消費電子為主（非個人電腦）的數碼家居產品無線應用上，也有極大的需求。 本研究項目集中於設計一個以標準互補式金屬氧化層半導體（Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor, CMOS）技術的超外差式（superheterodyne）無線接收器，此無線接收器只需一個鎖相迴路（PLL）及一粒外接晶振，已能達到所需的無線頻率；同時，本研究項目能產生以CMOS為技術的射頻方案，從而生產出含有知識產權的射頻組件和射頻集成電路；最終，一個低功率和低成本所發展出來的超寬帶技術及先進的設計方案，能應用於獨立的WPAN系統及嵌入式應用上，令本地生產商，能製造出新的高速無線多媒體消費產品及設備．
