ABOUT CALRADIO

Description

CalRadio is a Calit2 wireless transceiver research program that has the goal of developing general broad application radio/networking research and development test platforms. These platforms are for broad access by the wireless community and are made available to the public on an open basis for Research and Development. A single integrated test platform gives a new dimension to radio design in the future: the capability of publishing standards in software/firmware and hardware. This has the utility of greatly speeding the design, implementation and adoption of new standards.

Goals and Objectives

The goals for the platform development are to create a wireless development platform with the following attributes

Physical to app layers of wireless design
Capabilities for networking implementation
Software/Firmware implementation whenever possible
Libraries of routines for linking
Teaching platform with accessibility to undergrad as well as grad students
Open standards specification vehicle
A mix of DSP and Gate Array processing for speed and flexibility
