A CMOS Energy-Detector for Impulse-Radio UWB Noncoherent Receivers
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the design of an energy detector for ultra-wideband impulse-based applications. It comprises a squarer using a passive mixer and an integrate-and-dump circuit on a single stage. A current-reuse topology was chosen to reduce the overall power consumption. The proposed energy detector targets low data-rate communications for noncoherent receivers, using on-off keying modulations. The circuit has been designed in a CMOS 180-nm process with 1.8-V power supply. The simulation results show a total power dissipation of 287-μW for a 1-Mbps data-rate using an indoor channel model.

Uwb Impulse Radio with Gated Treshold Compensated Ppm Receiver
General agreement has been reached recently, that the coherent optimum receivers known from the theory of conventional communication systems are not feasible to implement low-cost and robust UltraWideBand (UWB) Impulse Radio (IR) receivers, especially if they have to offer an extremely low power consumption. Instead, Energy Detector (ED)-based noncoherent receivers have to be used [1]. Unfortun...
متن کاملNoncoherent Uwb Impulse Radio and Fm-dcsk: What Makes Them Different
For lack of empty radio bands, ultrawideband (UWB) radio system allowing reuse of already occupied frequency bands is the only solution to accommodate new wireless data communication services. Two types of UWB carriers are considered here, the frequency-shifted Gaussian pulse and chaotic signal with FM-DCSK modulation. A generalized model of transmitted reference systems is introduced first tha...

Fourier analyzer concept that generalize the waveform communications to include chaotic carriers can be used to discuss and optimize detection problems. Using this new description it is possible to develop new detector configurations with improved performance for chaotic communications that may be used in ultra-wideband radio (UWB). Radio communications via channels already occupied by traditio...
متن کاملCoding, Modulation, and Detection for Power-Efficient Low-Complexity Receivers in Impulse-Radio Ultra-Wideband Transmission Systems
Impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) is a promising transmission scheme, especially for short-range low-data-rate communications, as, e.g., in wireless-sensor networks. One of the main reasons for this is its potential to employ noncoherent, hence low-complexity, receivers even in dense multipath propagation scenarios, where channel estimation required for coherent detection would be overly co...
متن کاملA Broadband Low Power CMOS LNA for 3.1–10.6 GHz UWB Receivers
A new approach for designing an ultra wideband (UWB) CMOS low noise amplifier (LNA) is presented. The aim of this design is to achieve a low noise figure, reasonable power gain and low power consumption in 3.1-10.6 GHz. Also, the figure of merit (FOM) is significantly improved at 180nm technology compared to the other state-of-the-art designs. Improved π-network and T-network are used to obt...
