The project deliverables are listed in the following.
i. Dual Mode DTMB Baseband System Design
. Dual Mode DTMB system specification
. Architecture design and hardware sharing for multi-carrier and single carrier systems
. Dual Mode System algorithm development and simulation, including single carrier synchronization, channel estimation and equalization.
Both floating point and fixed point simulation for dual mode DTMB are to be developed to verify the functionalities and measure the performance. Pertinent simulation platform, including test benches and test vectors generation, supports hardware implementation.
ii. Dual Mode DTMB Baseband FPGA Design and Testing
. FPGA architecture design
. FPGa Module Design and Implementation, including single carrier synchronization, channel estimation and equalization etc.
. Dual Mode baseband FPGA integration
iii. Dual Mode DTMB Hardware Board Design
. FPGA demo board design, PCB layout, and integration. The board will be integrated and tested to demonstrate Dual Mode DTMB functionality and performance. Integration with RF tuner is optional at this stage.
. FPGA based system verification and testing
iv. DTMB Baseband ASIC Design
. ASIC chip design specification
. ASIC chip architecture design
- Baseband architecture design includes architecture design in ASIC chip, as well as baseband board levels. Such architecture design takes overall design objectives (low power, low cost, high efficiency and good performance, etc.) into account and optimize hardware resources and performance tradeoff in the architecture level.
. Front-End ASIC Design and Implementation, including FPGA to ASIC porting, RTL synthesis and Formal verification
. Back-End Design and Implementation
. Dual Mode Chip Tape Out
v. IP Development and Patent Applications
. At least two patents in the Dual Mode DTMB system and implementation will be generated in the project.
vi. Industry contribution and sponsorship
We will actively seek for customers and partners and industry contribution for at least 10% of total budget in the entire project and continue after the end of project. The goal is to promote the technology and project deliverables and gain industry contribution for the project.
