Digital Adaptive Predistortion Linearizer
Yan Zhang, Yifei Zhang, Hongtao Jiang
University of Michigan
Winner in the Experienced category of the 1999 Student VLSI Design Contest
Announcement: New Contest Rules and Deadlines
See the DAC Web Site
The primary motivation for merging was to give the contest winners
national exposure. Winning projects will be displayed as posters in
the university booth on the DAC exhibition floor, and some papers may
be incorporated into the DAC professional program for oral
presentation. Prize money will be donated, as in the past, by
industrial companies, which will also provide the contest judges. The
dollar value of prizes is expected to be comparable to those which
have been awarded in the Student VLSI Contest. In addition, prize
winners will receive travel assistance to DAC to exhibit their designs
and receive their awards.
The new contest will allow entries of both integrated circuits and
electronic systems (board-level designs). It will have two
categories: Operational (built and tested) and Conceptual (designed
and simulated).
After 18 years, the Student VLSI Design Contest, established by Kent
Smith at the University of Utah, will be merged with the Design
Automation Conference's (DAC's) University Design Contest, to form the
new "Student Design Contest." Entries will be due December 15, 1999.
