A 1.28mW 100Mb/s Impulse UWB Receiver with Charge-Domain Correlator and Embedded Sliding Scheme for Data Synchronization

 

Abstract

A 1.8V 1.28mW 100Mb/s impulse UWB receiver in 0.18É m CMOS for DC-960MHz band is developed. The proposed receiver features a DC power-free charge-domain sampling correlator and an embedded sliding scheme for data synchronization, thereby achieving the lowest energy of 12.8pJ/bit in the state-of-the-art correlation-based UWB receivers.
