Title: CHIPS R&D FPGA Evaluation Kits
BACKGROUND
The semiconductor supply chain is global, specialized, and interconnected. Chipmakers do business with thousands of individual suppliers that provide the highly complex materials and tools used to produce semiconductors. To address the lack of full visibility into the semiconductors markets supply chain and R&D ecosystem gaps NIST will conduct the measurement science, or metrology, critical to the development of new materials, packaging, and production methods in chip manufacturing.
The project “RF Channel Propagation Measurements and Models for Communications Circuits” is based on the existing expertise and measurement methodology of the channel measurement and modeling team. This project aims to dramatically accelerate the time needed to develop models and measurements to industry stakeholders while also providing improved targeting of identified needs for maximum impact. The experimental portion of this work seeks to develop a new generation of channel sounder with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and GPU integration for near real-time data processing.
The experimental approach used by the NIST channel sounding team is to produce, transmit, receive, and subsequently digitize complex modulated radio-frequency waveforms to provide improved dynamic range as needed to measure lossy communications channels. In support of the CHIPS project, the new channel sounder will require FPGA boards with the capability of high-speed computing. FPGAs can significantly enhance performance by offloading compute-intensive tasks from traditional processors. They provide parallel processing capabilities that can execute complex algorithms at blazing speeds, surpassing the performance of conventional CPUs. FPGAs can drastically reduce data processing latency by eliminating data transfer between different components. By leveraging FPGA acceleration and exe...
