The Communications Lab (Dept BA504), which is part of the Mobile Devices Silicon Technology organization, is responsible for developing, simulating, and implementing digital signal processing algorithms for advanced wireless communication systems. Typical projects include (1) modeling and simulating digital communication links (e.g., CDMA, WCDMA, OFDMA), (2) developing advanced signal processing algorithms for implementation in application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) hardware and/or Digital Signal Processor (DSP) software, and (3) designing, implementing, and verifying digital hardware modules such as modulators, encoders, demodulators, decoders, equalizers and advanced receivers. The resulting communications technology is subsequently integrated into ASIC’s (which are manufactured by Motorola’s semiconductor partners), which are then integrated into Motorola products.
