Motorola Joins Research Development Project Spearheaded by AML Communications and UCLA; Project Focusing on 3G Wireless Technology.Business Editors CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 23, 2000 AML AML - A Manufacturing Language Communications Inc. (Nasdaq:AMLJ) today announced that Motorola (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :MOT) has joined the company's research development program with the Department of Electrical Engineering electrical engineering: see engineering. electrical engineering Branch of engineering concerned with the practical applications of electricity in all its forms, including those of electronics. at the University of California The University of California has a combined student body of more than 191,000 students, over 1,340,000 living alumni, and a combined systemwide and campus endowment of just over $7.3 billion (8th largest in the United States). Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850. . The project will utilize Motorola's RF LDMOS LDMOS Laterally Diffused Metal Oxide Semiconductor LDMOS Lateral DMOS LDMOS Lightly-Doped Drain Metal-Oxide Semiconductor LDMOS Lateral Diffusion Mosfet transistors and their associated MET Models and focus on the development of 3G wireless power amplifiers utilizing Digital Signal Processing See DSP. Digital Signal Processing - (DSP) Computer manipulation of analog signals (commonly sound or image) which have been converted to digital form (sampled). . This next-generation technology, enabled through Motorola's DigitalDNA wireless solutions, is expected to enhance efficiency and increase performance over a broad bandwidth for wireless telecommunications applications. "We are delighted that Motorola is participating with us on this exciting research project to dramatically expand the performance of wireless technology. This enabling technology will facilitate the transmission of high-speed data at higher capacity and range," said Kirk A. Waldron, AML's president and chief executive officer. "Motorola's electron-thermal transistor model was specifically designed to simulate the performance of high-power amplifiers under complex modulation schemes -- a vital component for the 3G project. The models are expected to contribute to better prediction of product performance and to greatly reduce design cycle time. We are proud to play an important role as this ambitious project moves forward," said Jaime Pla, Motorola's RF Device Modeling Manager.
