Abstract :
In this paper we demonstrate the first 3-node synchronization of on-chip CMOS impulse radios. The synchronization scheme presented here is fast, scalable, low jitter and facilitates aggressive duty-cycling. We show experimentally that in steady state, the nodes are synchronized with cycle-to-cycle jitter of 1% of the period.
