Imec’s cognitive baseband radio to support 4G and broadband access to multiple services
Leuven, Belgium – June 8, 2010 – Imec introduces a cognitive baseband radio (COBRA) architecture targeting 4G requirements at up to 1Gbit/s throughput and multiple asynchronous concurrent streams (for instance simultaneous digital broadcasting reception and high-speed internet access). The low-cost, flexible architecture answers a new trend in wireless communication where [...]
IMEC’s multi-threaded ADRES processor architecture ready for licensing
Leuven, Belgium – October 5, 2009 – Today, IMEC unveils the second generation of its ADRES processor architecture (architecture for dynamically reconfigurable embedded systems). ADRES now supports multithreading, and has doubled its performance and energy efficiency compared to the first ADRES generation. This positions ADRES as a building block for future 4G devices. ADRES can [...]
IMEC demonstrates first spectrum sensing capabilities for cognitive radios
Leuven, Belgium – June 4, 2009 – IMEC has demonstrated spectrum sensing functions, using an experimental setup including its integrated reconfigurable radio platform. The setup senses information on spectrum occupancy from UMTS and WLAN signals in specific bands. It retrieves information on the frequency and bandwidth, with estimates for power and noise. The system includes [...]
