Abstract :
A fully integrated 2GHz super-regenerative transceiver is implemented in a 0.13 μm CMOS process. The transmit and receive paths utilize BAW resonators, yielding a 450 μW 1V RF front-end and a transmitter delivering 380 μW with 23% efficiency. At 5kb/s, the receiver achieves a sensitivity of -100.5dBm for 10-3 BER.
