Important results from the project
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The project aimed to develop an early prototype of a patented solution for 5G / 6G phones, which absorbs complexity and reduces the cost of the high frequency bands, as well as to validate it. We see a great deal of interest, but also that real evidence is needed to convert interest into agreements.
Expected long term effects
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** We have achieved the goals for the activities in the project, with a prototype circuit that has undergone layout and sent for prototype production, PCB design, chip assembly, definition of test cases and validation of the simulated performance in the lab. The validation has been equally useful for our own sake and to reduce the risk in the finished product, but also an important piece of the puzzle to convince partners / customers / investors that we are on the right track.
Approach and implementation
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Through advanced circuit design, our ASIC team has taken a prototype circuit that has undergone physical layout of the actual circuit and adapted for prototype manufacturing in a Multi Project Wafer (MPW) or mini@sic process. After manufacturing, the chip has been mounted on a PCB with low losses and the performance has been validated in a well-equipped high-frequency laboratory at Lund University.
