Abstract :
In this paper, a novel fully integrated monocycle pulse based UWB transmitter is presented. Fabricated in a 0.18-mum CMOS process, a low-power all-digital UWB pulse generator and modulator is proposed. The modulated pulse is further shaped by a driver amplifier. The transmitted pulses are binary phase modulated and meet the FCC UWB low frequency band (3.1-4.5GHz) spectral mask specification
