The AMOR project supports SMEs and especially start-ups to develop products with a wireless radio connection. These high frequency products typically operate in unlicensed frequency ranges of the frequency spectrum. A wide range of applications (e.g. IoT, e-health, wearable devices, sensor networks, Industry 4.0, home automation, smart meters, radio identification, etc.) work in this frequency spectrum. The market volume is expected to reach 7 trillion electronic devices in 2020. Although the use of license-free frequency bands is free, there are numerous legal restrictions to allow coexistence with other users of the same frequency band and the same radio cell. These requirements limit the transmission power, the occupied bandwidth, the way in which the transmit power is switched on and off and how the frequency bands are assigned. Before the market launch, evidence must be provided, that the requirements are met. Companies are therefore faced with the challenge of developing high frequency circuits that work with frequencies in the GHz range. However, the design of high frequency circuits in the GHz range is very different from classic low-frequency and digital circuit designs: signals can not be measured with standard measuring devices, component tolerances of the components play an important role, and even the electrical connection of components is a challenge in the high operating frequencies. Both the circuit design and the legal regulations require special know-how and expensive measuring devices. The latter is particularly a major financial burden for start-ups and SMEs, up to an obstacle to market entry, which oblige them to either rent the equipment or to buy services and know-how from third-party providers. The purchase of all necessary instruments is usually far too expensive for a small company. The AMOR project addresses both challenges by offering training seminars especially for start-ups and SMEs and, as the core of the project, developing an affordable macro modeling platform for high frequency systems and devices. On the one hand, this modeling platform enables the measurement of essential high frequency parameters at a price that can be financed by start-ups, and on the other hand, the creation of mathematical models that can be used in the development process in simulation software. In order to enable an inexpensive platform, commercially available components are largely used. (English)
