English abstract:
An impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) transmitter (TX) consuming ultra-low power is presented. The low-
complexity topology features control of the power spectral density (PSD) and central frequency for a broad range of
applications. The PSD and frequency adjustment are accomplished by employing a tunable pulse generator and an adjustabledriver. The IR-UWB TX suitable for on-off keying coding is fabricated in a low-cost 180 nm UMC CMOS technology and
occupies the total die area of 0.63 mm2. The measurement results show the transmitter output swing of 320 mVpp (peak-to-
peak amplitude) with the pulse duration of 0.6 ns, and the spectrum covering the frequency range from 3 to 7.5 GHz. The totalDC power consumption is 1 mW resulting in energy consumption of 5 pJ/pulse at 200 MHz data rate.
