Abstract :
In this paper an on-chip tunable Impulse-Ultra Wide Band Transmitter is presented. It is capable of modifying the power emission to comply with the FCC regulations at different pulse rates up to 300 MHz using two external controls. The maximum power consumption is 1.2 mW and 142 muW at 300 MHz and 10 MHz PRF respectively with a leakage current of 100 nA. The prototype has been designed in 0.18 UMC technology and placed in a QFN lead-less package.
