Non-coherent ultra-wideband (UWB) transceiver employing energy detector suffers from degradation in output SNR due to the squarer. A burst mode super-regenerative UWB transceiver which can recover the received signal to rail-to-rail with relatively fewer post-amplification stages is proposed. Unlike other super-regenerative receiver architectures that use oscillator, the proposed architecture empl...Show More
An integrated CMOS ultrawideband wireless telemetry transceiver for wearable and implantable medical sensor applications is reported in this letter. This high duty cycled, noncoherent transceiver supports scalable data rate up to 10 Mb/s with energy efficiency of 0.35 nJ/bit and 6.2 nJ/bit for transmitter and receiver, respectively. A prototype wireless capsule endoscopy using the proposed transce...Show More
A 3.54 nJ/bit receiver front-end for 3-5 GHz impulse radio UWB is proposed in this paper. Noncoherent receiver architecture enables the implementation of a low cost, low power and low complexity receiver. Current-reuse technique is employed in the LNA to reduce the power consumption while achieving high gain. The designed LNA can achieve 40 dB voltage gain and the receiver front-end can achieve a ...Show More
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) is a promising technology for short range wireless communication and precise ranging. In this paper, we first briefly review different approaches of UWB technique, and then concentrate on impulse radios. Various impulse UWB transceiver circuits and systems for different applications such as WPAN, WSN and WBAN are presented. Some recently developed pulse-based UWB radios are al...Show More
An ultrawideband transceiver employing chirp pulse modulation is proposed for LDR communication. In contrast to the Gaussian pulse, a transmitted pulse modulated with different chirps can maximize the transmitted energy under low supply voltage and is thus amenable to the voltage scalability of the advanced CMOS technologies. The binary data is encoded with different chirp frequencies and two iden...Show More
A UWB radio SoC, including an RF transceiver and a digital PHY, is presented for both communication and ranging. Realized in 0.18 ¿m CMOS, the Tx generates ternary coding and BPSK pulses in the 3-to-5 GHz range, and the Rx achieves a data rate of 0.25 to 20 Mb/s, a noise figure of 7.2 to 8.4 dB, and a sensitivity of -82 to -90 dBm. At 1 Mb/s, only 0.92 nJ/b and 5.3 nJ/b are required for Tx and Rx....Show More
A scheme for reliably decoding Manchester encoded signals is presented. The methods used in this scheme include detecting the rising edge of the incoming data, sampling the incoming data at a particular point, aligning the incoming data and detecting error in received data. This scheme improves the efficiency of synchronization at the receiver and provides an error indication output for wrongly re...Show More
In this paper, a fully integrated CMOS UWB transmitter is presented. The transmitter consists of a band-notched UWB antenna and a transmitter IC which integrates a pulse generator, a gating signal generator and driver amplifiers. The drive amplifier employs a 2-stage amplifier-a class-E amplifier and a class-A amplifier with switch control, to significantly reduce power consumption. Fabricated usi...Show More
A novel multi-band low noise amplifier (LNA) that allows simultaneous reception of signals from several wireless standards is designed and implemented using a 0.18-μm CMOS technology. The circuit topology consists of a 3-stage wideband LNA and 2 notch filters. The designed LNA can provide concurrent three bands over 0.935~5.825 GHz with measured gain (S21) of 15~24 dB, input reflection ratio (S11)...Show More
