Abstract

This paper presents the fully integrated self-quenched super-regenerative UWB impulse detector for low power and medium data rate wireless applications. The high gain, large bandwidth and low power consumption are the attractive properties of self-quenched super regenerative receivers for UWB system. The bandwidth of 1.5GHz across the central frequency of 7GHz is measured for self-quenched super-regenerative receiver. The test structure has been implemented on 0.18mum CMOS technology. The data rate of 4MHz is achieved for detecting -95dBm signals with power consumption of 1mW at 1.5V.
