The project deliverables are listed in the following.
Multimode Tuner Architecture and System Design
o Multimode reconfiguration design
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.

本项目旨在开发可配置多模手机电视射频调谐器。该调谐器将在叁个频段支持四个标準,即在S波段支持CMMB标準,在UHF波段支持DMMB和DVB-H标準,和在VHF波段支持T-DMB标準。CMMB是中国手机电视的工业标準,同时CMMB和DMMB一起也是中国手机电视国家标準的候选标準。本项目开发的射频调谐器不仅特别针对中国手机电视市场,同时也能被国际市场采用,因为世界範围内采用的DVB-H和T-DMB标準也涵盖在本项目中。在本项目,我们将开发一个从射频前端到数模转换器输入的射频调谐器系统,共包括约12个模组。最终的成果是在0.13微米RF CMOS工艺上验證的一个集成的射频调谐器晶片和知识产权。我们会采用系统性方法来实施本项目，从系统级仿真和验證，到模组级设计，实现和验證,再到射频调谐器的集成。我们计画了四次矽流片来测试验證多模手机电视射频调谐器晶片。
