An LC filter based UWB pulse generator to be implemented in IBM 0.13 µm CMOS technology is presented. A 6 th order elliptical filter approximation of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Ultra Wide Band (UWB) mask is used to generate the transfer function. The filter order is chosen based on mask filling efficiency, component spread and circuit complexity. The impulse response of the filter is used to generate the UWB pulse. The current consumption is 2.8 mA at 1.5V, at a pulse rate of 200 MHz. The bandwidth of the UWB pulse is 4GHz. The pulse generator operates over the military temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). Monte Carlo analysis simulation results show an acceptable effect of both mismatch and process variations on the UWB pulse.
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.
