A single-chip 33pJ/pulse 5th-derivative Gaussian based IR-UWB transmitter in 0.13&amp;#x00B5;m CMOS

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

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) failure has become an emerging challenge for radio frequency (RF) integrated circuits (ICs), which requires high ESD-protection for circuit applications in harsh environment. This paper discusses the design and optimization of an ultra-wideband (UWB) correlator circuit using ESDaware simulation design technique. Mixed-mode ESD simulation-design method and RF ESD characterization technique are presented for accurate ESD device design and ESD-induced parasitic effects extraction. The impact of ESD induced parasitic is carefully considered in the whole correlator design simulation by using a direct S-parameter insertion technique. The design is based on a commercial 0.18 µm RFCMOS technology.

“…Generally, modulation can be done before or after the pulse shaping block in a transmitter. For example, in [4,6,7], modulation circuitry was placed before the pulse generators; while in [8,9], the modulation is conducted after the pulse generator. Figure 4 shows the BPSK modulation scheme implemented in this design.…”

This paper reviews and discusses the design of a low-power single-full-band (3.1-10.6 GHz) noncarrier impulse-radio ultra wideband (UWB) transmitter featuring 5th-order Gaussian derivative pulse shaping, integrated BPSK modulation, and 2.5 kV whole-chip ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection. The UWB transmitter design has been implemented in a commercial 0.18 μm CMOS technology with a very small die size of 0.25 mm 2 . The fabricated chips have demonstrated full functionality, extremely low power consumption of 0.14 pJ/p-mV, and an ultra short pulse width of 394 ps. This ESD-protected UWB transmitter has the potential to support wireless streaming to gigabit per second (Gbps).
