Wireless processing techniques (wireless)

Implementators of Intel name it "Radio Free Intel". Here the main objective — to make radio so cheap and integrated, how much it in general is possible. And for reaching of this purpose already is available 5 different developments (processing techniques).

The first — MEMS (Micro-Electro Mechanical System).

As a basis silicon uses. Considering and banking its mechanical properties with possibilities of new processing technique of lithograph, it is possible to create a considerable quantity of very interesting multifunctional arrangements. New arrangements can combine in themselves as mechanical units, for example, electromotors, the relay and switches, and electronic units and the radio chains, allowing to create miniature radio transmitters and radio receivers.
Processing technique MEMS allows to reduce essentially the size and cost of passive components (the inductor, capacitors, etc.), necessary radio in an electrical chain.

In wireless processing techniques there is a set of perspectives, set of standards and the application environments. And one of directions over which experts of Intel work, roaming is. Users can be hooked up to a usual wire local area network (wire LAN), then to be disabled from it and to pass to a wireless network (wireless LAN) and then to fall outside the limits operation last and will switch to some global wireless network (wireless WAN). The processing technique expanding standard concept of a network, based on concept transportable IP and its extensions is already developed. Implementators of Intel tried to create not simply some automatic transition from one network in another, and the integral completed system which covers all spheres to a regional wireless network. And, by the way, will include also such important things as safety, VPN, etc. It is necessary to provide high-grade operation of applications (saving IP) on all path from one standard of a network in another.

The following processing technique is a silicon radio and dynamically reconfigured radio.

Here it is necessary to interrupt our narration which considerable part is made by theses of the report of Patrick Gelsingera, the vice-president of corporation of Intel. It is necessary to mark, that, being present on performances of bosses of Intel, it was necessary to mark surprising lecturing virtuosity, energy and the highest professionalism of computer experts of the world value respected in the environment and businessmen, both implementators, and scientists.
Coming back to Patrick Gelsingera's performance, it is necessary to underline, that all marked attributes it is inherent also in this lecturer which bright performance has left indelible impression.

Especially when he has persistently asked to get mobile phones and … to divide them. Also has set an example, effectively having thrown the arrangement on demonstration desktop.

The audience has stood. And Patrick Gelsinger, having gathered fragments, has explained: «that you see inside, represents a little vysokointegrirovannyh silicon chips. But much more places occupy passives: capacitors, resistors, spools, switches etc. These components prevent to reduce to us the size».

Further it has explained what to reduce these components radio and other traditional processing techniques is possible application MEMS. It will allow to integrate all together with other components.

As a result of the given integration it is possible to create the new desksize products of radio providing wireless interconnection of components of computer systems, including possibility of operation in networks. Considering that fact that it is necessary to switch between different networks some arrangements (LAN, PAN it are a question of implementation at once, WAN).

Implementators of Intel wish to bank each radio arrangement in one small product from 2-3 chips.

Because such arrangements is required some, it is expedient to bank all of them in one product (Silicon Radio).

Evolution of arrangements Silicon Radio is more low presented: Today - hundred millions units, Tomorrow - billions units, Future - ten billions units. Here in a graphic form additional parametres are resulted: the price (Cost), energopotreblenie (Power), the sizes (Size).

Engineers of Intel have developed arrangements which are capable to switch automatically between networks for the purpose of reaching, for example, the greatest high-speed performance at the least cost.

However implementators of Intel are gathered to embody this processing technique further, radio is rather than simple. It is planned, that each silicon chip will be completed with radio. For example, each chip set and the processor. In further radio will be in each arrangement. It also is implementation Radio Free Intel.

With increase in quantity of arrangements for any user too many wires round a workstation are stored. Radio is that is capable to reduce quantity of these wires essentially.

The processing technique of a broad-band information transfer on a radio channel (UWB — Ultra-Widwband) is simultaneously developed. It will allow to handle the big streams of the information and in due course will substitute traditional ways of interconnection of components, for example, USB 2.0.
