Abstract :
A low-power FM-UWB receiver front-end for low data rate (100 kbps) short-range (<10 m) applications operating in the upper UWB band at 7.45 GHz is described. The front-end comprises a 21 dB gain preamplifier and a 1GHz bandwidth FM demodulator. The measured receiver sensitivity is -86.8 dBm while consuming 9 mW from a 1.8 V supply and -84.3 dBm is achieved at 6 mW power consumption. The 0.88 mm2 active area circuit is implemented in 0.25 mum SiGe:C BiCMOS.
