In this activity, UWB Transceiver integrated circuits (ICs) will be radiation tested in order to identify their sensitivities. Design changes at technology level (library cells) will be done in order to reduce/nullify the radiation effects on the UWB Transceiver ICs.Proposed tasks:1) To perform radiation testing on current ICs related with UWB technology.2) To upgrade/re-design the UWB library cells for mitigating any possible effect related with radiation results in anticipation to the development of a rad-hard/rad-tol UWB transceiver3) Integration of UWB transceivers in a reliable sensor Network representative of a Space transportation applicationActivity will be performed in coordination with FLPP.
