由於采用数码化多媒体产品的数量激增，及家用消费电子产品中使用多媒体内容的数量亦日渐增多，从而令到个人网络设置中，以无线技术连接各种电子产品和个人电脑的需求也日益增加。以超宽带（UWB）无线通讯技术为基础的无线通用串行总线（WUSB）标準，已被运用於解决个人电脑的应用上，同时，业界对以智能消费电子为主（非个人电脑）的数码家居产品无线应用上，也有极大的需求。 本研究项目集中於设计一个以标準互补式金属氧化层半导体（Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor, CMOS）技术的超外差式（superheterodyne）无线接收器，此无线接收器只需一个锁相迴路（PLL）及一粒外接晶振，已能达到所需的无线频率；同时，本研究项目能产生以CMOS为技术的射频方案，从而生产出含有知识产权的射频组件和射频集成电路；最终，一个低功率和低成本所发展出来的超宽带技术及先进的设计方案，能应用於独立的WPAN系统及嵌入式应用上，令本地生产商，能製造出新的高速无线多媒体消费产品及设备．
