“…Table I, this implementation achieves state of the art performance in terms of low sensitivity for high data rate. It has to be noted that the power consumption of the receivers in [3][4][5] includes the analog and digital base-band. However, this work shows only the RF front-end.…”

“…The performance of the super-regenerative receiver in terms of sensitivity and selectivity is determined by the waveform of the quench current. This behavior is analyzed under a sinusoidal, square, triangular and saw-tooth quench wave in [3]. The conclusion is that a saw-tooth waveform provides better selectivity.…”

“…A potential candidate to achieve ultra low power wireless communication in BAN is the super-regenerative receiver [2]. Due to its simplicity of design and low power expenditure, it is a commonly employed architecture in sensor networks [3][4][5]. Nevertheless, these transceivers operate mostly at lower data rates, whereas lifestyle, fitness or entertainment type of applications require the use of high data rates.…”

This paper presents an ultra low power superregenerative RF front-end for wireless body area network (WBAN) applications. The RF front-end operates in the 2.36-2.4 GHz medical BAN and 2.4-2.485 GHz ISM bands, and consumes 500 m m m mW. It supports OOK modulation at high data rates ranging from 1-5 Mbps. It achieves a sensitivity of -67 dBm at a BER of 10 -3 . The combination of digital and analog quench generation and RF front-end optimization provides ultra-low power consumption at high data rates. The RF front end is implemented in a 90 nm CMOS technology and is packaged in a QFN56 package.

This paper presents an energy-efficient transmitter for UWB impulse-radio. The proposed circuit uses a novel combined mixer and power amplifier to generate a Gaussian pulse with 1.25GHz bandwidth and center frequency of 7.87GHz. The combined MXR-PA includes a monolithic transformer to reach a maximum output voltage swing of 3.2Vpp. The transformer has been designed so as to maximize the transmitter power efficiency and at the same time to realize a fourth-order ladder filter, in order to reduce out-of band emissions. The transmitter has been implemented in a 0.13μm CMOS technology, occupies an area of 0.14mm2 and dissipates 1.92mW for a 10-pulse burst with 1.2V power supply

“…The simple design of demodulation unit is made by comparing the average voltage of the multiplier output to the threshold level. External bias control loop and complex automatic current calibration unit are proposed in [6][7][8] for narrow band systems. The simple architecture of feedback current control loop is used in this work [9][10].…”

This paper proposes a multi-standard transceiver architecture, based on UWB impulse transmitter and 402-to405MHz super-regenerative receiver for medical implant devices. This architecture eliminates the requirement of frequency synthesizer and power amplifier at transmitter side and LNA, mixers, IF amplifiers and ADCs at receiver side of implant transceiver. The test structure of transceiver has been implemented on 0.18µm CMOS technology. The UWB impulse transmitter consumes 0.3mW from 1.5V supply at the data rate of 500Kbits/s. The 402-to-405MHz super-regenerative receiver consumes 0.5mW at the data rate of 120Kbits/s and sensitivity of -95dBm.
