Low Energy Electronics Design for Mobile Platforms

摘要

In order to address the need for low-energy electronics design for mobile platforms in future Army communication systems a multidisciplinary effort is needed to investigate system and component design, simulation and optimization techniques. The emphasis in this research project is on the optimization, from a systems perspective, of energy requirements for a given performance level incorporating realistic models of device and circuit characteristics and energy consumption. The objectives of our project are to carry out detailed investigations to determine the best possible approaches and design methodologies to achieve significant energy reduction in a mobile platform performing various functions including communications, surveillance, detection, diagnostics and GPS direction finding.
