Abstract :
A highly integrated, WiMedia/MBOA compliant RF transceiver for ultra-wideband (UWB) data communication in the 3-5GHz band is presented. The design includes receiver, transmitter and fast-hopping synthesizer. It is designed in a 0.13mum standard CMOS technology for a single supply voltage of 1.5V. The receiver features a measured noise figure (NF) of 3.6 to 4.1dB over the three sub-bands. The transmitter supports a maximum TX power of 0dBm at 20 dB EVM
