The next generation of wireless communication devices must achieve Gigabit data rates and low power consumption by making more efficient use of the radio-frequency spectrum and taking advantage of device interoperability. To meet these requirements, the development of cognitive radio devices will be far more complex than that of their predecessors. Large, interdisciplinary development teams are required to cover areas such as analog RF hardware, digital hardware design, digital signal processing and system architecture. With the research team selected for this project we believe to have put together all the expertise required to face the design challenges of the radios of the future.
