This paper presents a 130nm CMOS (HCMOS9 from ST-Microelectronics) 6.3 pJ/b ultra-low power energy detector circuit design and implementation. The designed energy detector is implemented with three blocks: the squarer based on a MOS transistor biased in the subthreshold region, the integrator based on a low pass amplifier and a decision...

An ultra wide band antenna (UWB) with compact size is designed on a Roger 4003 substrate, fabricated, and tested in two different configurations (16.5*12.35 mm2 and 18.3*13.26 mm2). It achieves impedance bandwidth wider than 10 GHz (from 3.01 GHz / 3.3 GHz to more than 12 GHz). The antenna is studied for a single package solution of UWB impulse...

In this paper, a low power and low cost ultra wideband impulse radio transmitter is presented. The transmitter includes a pulse generator integrated in a 0.13- μm standard CMOS technology and an antenna printed on the chip carrier. The board is manufactured with Roger 4003 laminate substrate and has a total area of 50 mm × 18 mm. The...

This paper presents the design of a fully integrated pulse generator which allows BPSK modulation to be implemented. This emitter is based on the response filter architecture and has been integrated in a 130 nm CMOS technology with a 1.2 V supply voltage on a silicon area of 2.88 mm 2 . The bandwidth at -10 dB is about 1.8 GHz around 3.52 GHz....
