Abstract :
In this paper, a 65 nm CMOS reconfigurable direct-conversion receiver, tailored to WiMedia UWB (band groups 1,3 and 4) including frequency synthesizer, mixer and baseband first stage is described. Experiments show a robust operation while the synthesizer requires a record low 43 mW dc power.
