Adaptive MIMO RF systems: Post-manufacture and real-time tuning for performance maximization and power minimization

A self-tuning architecture for buck converters based on alternative test

“…Since the DUT is embedded in a different test environment as compared to standard specification test, the alternative test configuration is carefully designed to maximise the correlation of the alternative test response with standard specification test. Adaptation to process variations is also a key issue in other systems such as low-power RF & wireline systems [9][10][11]. In this context, techniques such as self-learning based adaptation [12][13], power-conscious tuning [14] and system level testing and tuning [15][16][17] concepts have been developed.…”
