A 0.17-nJ/Pulse IR-UWB Receiver Based on Distributed Pulse Correlator in 0.18-μm Digital CMOS

چکیده
This paper presents a low power impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) receiver based on a reconfigurable, high speed analog correlator called distributed pulse correlator (DPC). The DPC incorporates built-in local template pulse generation, and hence significantly reduces the power consumption and circuit complexity of the analog correlation receiver. A chip prototype of the IR-UWB receiver was implemented in 0.18-μm standard digital CMOS, and achieved an energy efficiency of 0.17-nJ/pulse at 250-MHz pulse rate in the measurement.

متن کاملComparison of Feedback Influence on Ring Oscillator Performance for IR-UWB Pulse Generator in 0.13 μm and 0.18 μm CMOS Technologies
A CMOS three-stage ring oscillator is examined in UMC 0.13 μm and 0.18 μm technologies. The influence of PMOS transistor and resistor, as inverter feedbacks, on the ring oscillator frequency and the peak-to-peak amplitude is investigated in both technologies. Furthermore, as the ring oscillator usually drives a buffer in pulse generator/transmitter chain, dependence of its Figures of Merit on t...
