This paper proposes a novel symmetric superregenerative transceiver architecture for pulsed short-range communication. The proposed architecture is targeted for wireless applications where ultra low power consumption and data-rate in tens of megabits per second are needed over distances in the range of tens of centimeters. The transmitter and receiver are both based on super-regenerative principle and both functions in the transceiver utilize one mutual super-regenerative oscillator. Additionally, the transceiver architecture allows fast synchronization of transceivers thanks to the delayed reflection phenomenon which makes it possible to detect correct timing simultaneously at both ends of the system. Measurement results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed principle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
