The MegaWatch Wireless <strong>Plat<strong>for</strong>m</strong>Master's Thesis - Emanuel Corthay16 APPENDICESEPFL/LSM:http://lsmwww.epfl.ch/Pr<strong>of</strong>. Yusuf LeblebiciThe Microelectronic Systems Laboratory (LSM) at EPFL operates as a part <strong>of</strong> the Institute <strong>of</strong>Microelectronics <strong>and</strong> Microsystems (IMM), concentrating its activities on the design <strong>and</strong>implementation <strong>of</strong> high-per<strong>for</strong>mance digital <strong>and</strong> mixed-signal VLSI circuits, language-basedmodeling <strong>and</strong> validation <strong>of</strong> SoC components, intelligent (neural <strong>and</strong> neuro-fuzzy) systemarchitectures, <strong>and</strong> integrated photonic circuits <strong>for</strong> high-speed data links.Strong interaction <strong>and</strong> collaboration with other research groups in EPFL, as well as with industrypartners are essential components <strong>of</strong> the LSM research agenda.The teaching objective <strong>of</strong> LSM is to <strong>of</strong>fer comprehensive undergraduate <strong>and</strong> graduate educationprograms in digital / mixed-signal IC design <strong>and</strong> VLSI system design to our Electrical Engineering<strong>and</strong> Microengineering (Microtechnique) students.The facilities <strong>of</strong> the Microelectronic Systems Laboratory include a state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art CAD environment<strong>for</strong> VLSI design, as well as test <strong>and</strong> measurement labs <strong>for</strong> detailed chip-level <strong>and</strong> system-levelcharacterization.EPFL/LAP: Laboratoire d'architecture des ordinateurshttp://lapwww.epfl.ch/Pr<strong>of</strong>.
