long-range radio equipment. Aurora's products are especially engineered to provide long communication range_x000D_
while consuming low amount of power for battery-powered multi-year operation. Aurora Wireless Networks_x000D_
helps clients develop and/or deploy the most energy efficient, long range, license free, wireless data networks_x000D_
available. Whether part of the internet of things development or innovative industrial telemetry, Aurora_x000D_
Wireless Networks offers the hardware and software building blocks for reliable and cost-effective products._x000D_
The supplier of a power amplifier, a key component of Aurora's radio transmitter, has recently declared the_x000D_
amplifier obsolete thereby requiring Aurora seek an alternative cost-effective solution. Since initial work_x000D_
showed that available alternative solutions were inadequate, a custom-made solution is sought._x000D_
The proposed research targets to assist with a redesign of a transmitter system in one of Aurora Wireless_x000D_
Networks products that will be manufactured in Calgary._x000D_
Dr. Belostotski's research team at the University of Calgary (UofC) has acquired significant practical expertise_x000D_
in design and development of broadband RF transceiver systems. This expertise matches well with the_x000D_
challenges faced by Aurora and is expected to help the company with redevelopment of its next generation_x000D_
products and maintain its market share._x000D_
The proposed project is striving to assist the company with the development of a miniature, high-efficiency_x000D_
power amplifier. During the period of time supported by the NSERC Engage grant, the UofC team will aim to_x000D_
identify the power transistors or systems capable of achieving expected performance requirements, demonstrate_x000D_
with simulations the performance of the proposed amplifier, design and develop a circuit-board-level_x000D_
implementation of the power amplifier, and perform experimental validation of the amplifier operation., program purpose french : Aurora Wireless Networks is a Canadian company, which designs and manufactures ultra-energy-efficient,_x000D_
