  • Abstract
    This paper presents an ultra low power random number generator (RNG) for a UWB RFID and Localization system. It amplifies noise by using a chain of identical inverters to generate a serial output stream of random bits. The circuit consumes only 0.65nW from a supply voltage VDD = 0.5V. The degree of randomness of the output bitstream is examined with the NIST tests.
