Continuous-time ADC Architectures for 6G Communication Systems

Reference number
Coordinator Linköpings universitet - Linköpings Universitet Inst f systemteknik ISY
Funding from Vinnova SEK 2 258 319
Project duration October 2025 - March 2027
Status Ongoing
Venture 6G - Research and innovation
Call 6G - international research and innovation collaboration 2025

Purpose and goal

The project aims to investigate the potential and feasibility of a mostly passive bandpass analog-to-digital converter originating from the “control-bounded conversion” concept. The overall goal is to increase the configurability and energy efficiency of the wireless receiver in a future 6G communication system.

Expected effects and result

The project includes both theoretical and practical cross-disciplinary work ranging from fundamental signal processing to the design and realization of integrated circuits. Expected results thus include mathematical models for parameterization, simulation models to verify performance, analog and digital design to ensure functionality in a modern semiconductor manufacturing process.

Planned approach and implementation

The project will be implemented in three phases, the first phase will develop mathematical models and perform high-level simulations, the second phase will include analog and digital design as well as transistor-level simulation and verification. The third phase will complete the project by compiling and publishing results.

The project description has been provided by the project members themselves and the text has not been looked at by our editors.
