  • Abstract
    There are applications that require long-range, low data rate and low power consumption communications that could be implemented with wireless sensor networks equipped with multiple antennas. We are implementing a transceiver for that purpose. The transceiver requires a specific reconstruction filter which isn´t commercially available for our target technology, XFAB XH018. An integrated active DAC reconstruction filter was designed and implemented on the target technology using Synopsys design tools. This document present the design, implementation and testing of the reconstruction filter. The filter achieved the design requirements.
