“…However, a high pass filter was required. A Gaussian pulse with a filter was employed in [21,22]. These simpler approaches achieved better power performance.…”
This work presents a new pulse-shaping technique for an impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) transmitter which is intended for RFID tags and wireless sensor applications. The proposed pulse is derived from a rectangular pulse with its side-band energy suppressed in order to satisfy the FCC UWB regulation, in particular at low frequency band (3.1 - 4.8 GHz). To verify its effectiveness, the new pulse generator was designed in a 180-µm CMOS process. The simulation results indicate that the spectrum of the transmitted pulse can be fitted within the FCC UWB spectral mask. The total circuit consumes 926 µW at a 10 MHz pulse repetitive frequency (PRF).

“…Combination of delayed triangular glitches [13] and Step Recovery Diode (SRD) based circuits [14] also have been presented in literature. Another approach is to apply a glitch (spike) to a filter network [15], [16], [17] such that it forms a UWB impulse at the output; however, using complex filters and drivers has led to higher power consumption. In [16], although 1.93 pJ emitted energy per pulse is reported, the circuit dissipates 393 pJ to generate a single pulse.…”
This paper presents a low-power binary phase shift keying (BPSK) pulse generator for ultra-wide-band transmitters. The circuit has been designed based on LC-tank resonators using 0.13 um CMOS technology. Simulation shows-10dB bandwidth of around 3 GHz and power consumption of 2 mW at 100 MHz PRF. Peak-peak amplitude voltage for both symbols '1' and '0' are approximately as large as 1.2V supply voltage and can radiate enough energy to satisfy the FCC mask only by one pulse. Thus, the energy consumption is 20 pJ/pulse/bit. Pulse duration is 1.5 ns and the transmitter can reach data rates of 660 Mbps

“…This method, however, is at the expense of higher power consumption. Second, a pulse-shaping filter is added following a Gaussian mono-pulse generator, i.e., filtered edge-combining [5,15,17]. The filter can be implemented with either extra passive components or an active differentiator [15].…”
This work presents a novel concept of antenna-and-pulsegenerator codesign for realizing FCC-regulation-compliant IR-UWB transmitters. The method contributes to a compact design that significantly reduces the overall device footprint and energy consumption. A Gaussian mono-pulse generator and a folded-dipole antenna with a bandwidth of 7.8-9.5 GHz are co-optimized, eliminating any matching sections. The energy consumption for each impulse emission is only 2.6 pJ and 100 Mpulse/s operation of the transmitter complies with the FCC mask. The transmitter of this kind shows promise for size-restricted and ultra-low power applications such as medical implants. key words: UWB, impulse radio, ultra-low-power telemetry, medical implant Classification: Microwave and millimeter wave devices, circuits, and hardware
