o Direct conversion architecture design
o System and modules specifications definition
o System interfaces and interfaces between modules definition
Multimode Tuner Modules IP
o Modules IP design in terms of schematics, simulation and layout
o Modules include receiver modules, frequency synthesizer modules, SPI/I2C and miscellaneous modules.
o Modules IP evaluation results
Multimode Tuner RFIC
o Functional tuner RFIC engineering samples fabricated in 0.13um RF CMOS technology. A few silicon tapeouts are planned to verify the tuner RFIC.
Demo Board
o Demo board for the tuner RFIC to work or test in a platform
Final reports of design documentation, interface definition (including SPI/I2C interface control) and integration guide
o All documentations which are necessary to license our technology and IP to external partners, including design, interface and integration.
Patent Applications
o We plan to apply for one to two patents in the areas of direct conversion architecture, DC offset cancellation, and modules design and implementation
Industry contribution and sponsorship
Huahong Integrated Circuit (HHIC) Company Limited has committed to collaborate with ASTRI, after rounds of negotiation, we have signed technology licensing agreement with cash amount of HK$1,639.2K, equivalent to 12% of project cost. Among the 12%, 10% will contribute to this project, and 2% will contribute to TD-LTE RFIC project to be kicked off in fiscal year 2009. HHIC is an IC company, it has wide product lines covering ID card, CPU, RF, demodulator baseband and etc. The technology developed in this project will be beneficial and portable to TD-LTE RFIC project since both projects have similar RF/analog modules such as multi-band RF frontend and scalable bandwidth filter. Other potential customers include ZTEIC in Shenzhen, Solomon Systech in Hong Kong and Natlinear in Shanghai, we will continue to engage with customers for IP licensing during project and after the end of project. It is our responsibility to achieve at least 10% industry contribution within 9 months after project kickoff.

本項目旨在開發可配置多模手機電視射頻調諧器。該調諧器將在三個頻段支持四個標準,即在S波段支持CMMB標準,在UHF波段支持DMMB和DVB-H標準,和在VHF波段支持T-DMB標準。CMMB是中國手機電視的工業標準,同時CMMB和DMMB一起也是中國手機電視國家標準的候選標準。本項目開發的射頻調諧器不僅特別針對中國手機電視市場,同時也能被國際市場采用,因為世界範圍內采用的DVB-H和T-DMB標準也涵蓋在本項目中。在本項目,我們將開發一個從射頻前端到數模轉換器輸入的射頻調諧器系統,共包括約12個模組。最終的成果是在0.13微米RF CMOS工藝上驗證的一個集成的射頻調諧器晶片和知識產權。我們會採用系統性方法來實施本項目，從系統級仿真和驗證，到模組級設計，實現和驗證,再到射頻調諧器的集成。我們計畫了四次矽流片來測試驗證多模手機電視射頻調諧器晶片。
