Tutorial: Silicon Systems for Wireless LAN

Summary form only given, as follows. The complete presentation was not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings. To date, there are very few publications covering all the steps (from the system-level to the transistor-level) necessary to design, model, verify, implement, integrate, and test a silicon system. Our tutorial targets this empty space and intents to bridge the gap between system and circuit designers, technologists, and physicist. It is extremely important nowadays (and will be more important in the future) for system and circuit designers to understand the physical implications of system and circuit solutions based on hardware/software codesign as well as for technologists and physicists to cope with the system and circuit requirements in terms of energy, speed, and data throughput. The tutorial addresses all the steps of design, modeling, verification, implementation, integration, and test of advance silicon systems for wireless local-area networks (WLAN).
