The project deliverables are listed in the following: Dualmode CWPAN/ZigBee RFIC Transceiver Architecture and System Design • Dualmode reconfiguration design • Direct conversion architecture design • System and modules specifications definition • System interfaces and interfaces between modules definition CWPAN/ZigBee Transceiver Modules IP • Modules IP design in terms of schematics, simulation and layout • Modules include receiver modules, transmitter modules, frequency synthesizer modules, SPI and miscellaneous modules. • Modules IP evaluation results CWPAN/ZigBee Transceiver RFIC • Functional transceiver RFIC engineering samples fabricated in 0.18um RF CMOS technology. A few silicon tapeouts are planned to verify the transceiver RFIC. Demo Board • Demo board for the transceiver RFIC to work or test in a platform Final reports of design documentation, interface definition (including SPI interface control) and integration guide • All documentations which are necessary to license our technology and IP to external partners, including design, interface and integration. Patent Applications • Two patents in the areas of direct conversion architecture, DC offset cancellation, dual mode LNA, PA and VCO modules design and implementation Industry contribution and sponsorship Our project partner Vinno Technologies has committed RMB900K contribution to this full project including cash of RMB800K and in-kind of RMB100K. We will actively look for customers, and obtain commitment of industry contribution for at least 10% of total budget before end of ninth month after project kickoff. We will continue to engage with customers for IP licensing in the rest of project duration and after the end of project. The goal is to promote the technology and project deliverables and support industries in Hong Kong, PRD and China.

本專案旨在開發應用於CWPAN/ZigBee的雙模射頻收發器晶片。CWPAN是低速率中國無線個域網國家標準,同時CWPAN已成為國際標準的一部分,IEEE802.15.4C工作組專為CWPAN而設立。CWPAN標準於2007年2月正式立項,計畫於2008年2月完成。CWPAN工作於特批的780MHz頻段,数据率為250kbps。國際ZigBee也是低速率無線個域網標準,它工作於ISM頻段,歐洲868MHz, 美國915MHz和世界範圍的2.4GHz。本專案將開發雙模射頻收發器晶片,它能夠在一個晶片上支持CWPAN和ZigBee兩個標準,其中,CWPAN工作於780MHz, ZigBee工作於868/915MHz。本專案將會設計射頻收發器系統和其中的每個模組,模組從射頻前端到ADC/DAC,數目在19個左右,最終會提交驗證和生產於0.18微米CMOS制程的集成射頻收發器晶片及知識產權。我們會採用系統性方法來實施本專案,從系統級仿真和驗證,到模組級設計,實現和驗證,再到射頻收發器的集成。我們計畫了四次矽流片來測試驗證雙模收發器晶片。 本項目的立項是由巨大的市場機遇和其蘊含的技術創新驅動。CWPAN/ZigBee有著很多應用,比如無線感測器網路,家庭網路,商業和工業控制,樓宇自動化和自動讀表。2007年9月,IEEE802.15主席Bob Heile預計ZigBee市場年複合增長率會達到100%到150%,到2010年左右每年的出貨量會達到3億。中國是世界上最大的市場之一,並且中國擁有自己的國標CWPAN。和我們的合作夥伴一道,ASTRI是第一個開發CWPAN晶片的公司,而我們的合作夥伴是CWPAN標準的先驅者,這賦予了我們領先於其他競爭者的巨大時間優勢和市場機遇。我們的雙模收發器晶片和知識產權不僅適用於中國,也可被世界其他地方使用。我們將會轉讓我們的知識產權給無線晶片公司,SoC設計公司,MCU公司和現有的ZigBee晶片公司。
