Abstract

A fully CMOS integrated radio frequency (RF) transceiver for wireless sensor networks in sub-GHz ISM-band applications is implemented and measured. The IC is fabricated in 0.18-mum CMOS technology and packaged in LPCC package. The fully monolithic transceiver consists of a receiver, a transmitter and a RF synthesizer with on-chip VCO. The chip fully complies with the IEEE 802.15.4 WPAN standard in sub-GHz mode. The receiver sensitivity is -98 dBm and the transmitter achieves less than 6.3% error vector magnitude (EVM) for 40 kbps mode. The chip uses 1.8 V power supply and the current consumption is 14 mA for reception mode ad 16 mA for transmission mode
