Abstract :
A highly integrated, flexible, baseband impulse-UWB transceiver front-end has been implemented in a standard 0.13mum CMOS process with power consumption of 1.8mW (RX) and 0.5mW (TX) at 10 Mpulses/s with a 1.1V supply. This transceiver targets a sensor network application and comprises a 1-bit, 1.92 GSample/s A/D conversion, 50Omega input matching with 0dB-42dB variable gain, control logic, 60MHz oscillator, and a pulse transmitter. Pulse transmission and reception are demonstrated
