Reconfigurable Multiband Technology (RekoMute)

Responsible:

DaimlerChrysler AG Research and Technology z. Hd. Dr. Thomas Müller Department REI/VA Wilhelm-Runge-Str. 11 89081 Ulm Germany

Objectives of RekoMute:

• Definition of principal and basic traffic and automotive application scenarios
  
  
• Contribution to the WIGWAM system concept and standardization
  
  
• Investigation of radio-frontend-architectures (Six-Port)
  
  
• Development of a broadband reconfigurable six-port receiver
  
  
• Realization of a muli-band demonstrator in order to investigate and to proof the reconfigurability of multi-band RF platforms
  
  
• Investigation and research of multiband/multimode receivers (Six-Port) particularities
  
  
• Proof of concept capability
  
  

Advantages of Reconfigurable Multi-Band Technology:

• Software configurable updates to new standards
  
  
• No hardware exchange caused by introduction of new standards
  
  
• Global usability
  • important for worldwide distribution
  • different standards (USA, Europe, Japan ...) are implemented via software
  • reduction of hardware variety
    
    
• Reduction of electronic hardware components
  • more resistance against errors/failure
  • increase of electric/electronic (EE) quality
    
    
• Increase of the data rate
  • allows new services and application possibilities
    
    
• MIMO-compatibility
  • increase of capacity
  • BER reduction
    
    
• Terminal gets compatible to future standards
