System Design on Silicon

Important results from the project

The vision and goal of the project has been to establish a world class research center for development of system solutions on silicon for wireless communication that ensure the competitiveness of the partners. This has been realized and is manifested in multiple ways, through publication of results in scientific journals and at conferences with very high standards. Researchers in the center have, during the project, presented results measuring up to the best on an international scale.

Expected long term effects

The project has influenced state-fo-the-art in several dimensions and had a large impact on how future wireless standards will materialize. Primarily, the multi-disciplinary work on massive MIMO systems and their demonstration showing possibilities and properties has had a large impact. The project researchers are world leading in this area and project partners have harvested large benefits from these successes.

Approach and implementation

The project has been executed by pushing a number of parallel research areas, which in tight cooperation worked with developing intra-disciplinary results as well as larger multi-disciplinary systems solutions. By jointly assuming challenges across these research areas, in the form of larger research projects, the individual areas have been cross-fertilized and and together grown in a way that would have been difficult without the wide knowledge base present in the project. The project has been managed in tight cooperation with partners and international advisors.
