Abstract

This paper presents a 0.13 μm CMOS impulse radio ultra-wideband receiver which supports the on-off keying modulation scheme. The receiver includes a wideband low-noise amplifier, and allows for control of the integration window to accommodate different number of pulses per symbol at bandwidths of up to 10.6 GHz. A power cycling scheme is implemented to reduce the power consumption, and allows the system to operate within stringent power requirements. The receiver was simulated at data rates of 10 Mbps with a maximum simulated power usage of 4.5 mW. Power cycling reduces the power consumption by a factor of 3.3.
