“…For characterising the device under test, the flexibility to be able to select different waveforms is helpful to detect the low-power transmitted signal. Compared to other work with OCAs and UWB transmitters [16] in the field, this SoC harvests and stores energy as a system and is operated and controlled without any wired contact [2].…”

In this contribution, we describe and analyse a miniature wireless radio frequency identification (RFID) chip with on-chip antennas (OCA) and ultra wideband (UWB) signalling by real-world measurements. With the on-chip antenna approach, no external antennas are required, and the size of the overall tag is identical to the size of the chip alone (3.5 mm × 1 mm). The chip is powered through inductive coupling and controlled by an RFID signal at 866 MHz in the downlink, while the uplink transmits a quaternary pulse-position-modulated (4-PPM) UWB signal at 5.64 GHz with pulses having a duration in the order of nanoseconds. In this contribution, the hybrid or asymmetric communication scheme between prototype chip and reader, the embedded OCA, and the measurement setup are described. The prototype achieves 4-PPM bit rate of 126 Mbit/s based on a pulse-train transmission with a duration of 10 μs. The small size, high data rate, and fine time resolution of the UWB impulse radio offer new features and sensing capabilities for future RFID-like applications.

“…It has to be mentioned that the device from [16] is powered externally, and the devices in [25] and [6] use external antennas. In this table, the required power P downlink necessary to establish a wideband connectivity over the distance d downlink is used as a basis of comparison.…”

“…Figure 1 illustrates a block diagram for the IR-UWB SoC in this work, which consists of a pulse generator (PG) based transmitter and a receiver formed by LNA and correlator. Most prior UWB ICs reported did not have high-level full-chip ESD protection and none considered UWB-ESD co-design to address the ESD-induced degradation [3][4][5].…”

This paper discusses critical aspects for co-design of ultra wideband (UWB) system-on-chip (SoC) and on-chip electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, which are beyond the considerations on data rate and bandwidth. Impulse radio UWB system architecture has been defined with critical building blocks proposed and verified, including pulse generator, transmitter, low noise amplifier (LNA) and multiplier based correlator. ESD protection is well considered for each related block. Design examples have been implemented in a commercial RFCMOS processes to demonstrate the working principles for key UWB transmitter and receiver circuit blocks. UWB-ESD co-design techniques, simulation and measurement results for these UWB RF modules are presented in detail.

“…This antenna driver scheme is also very power efficient since 1) there are no losses associated with scaled driver inverter stages commonly found in other UWB designs (e.g. crowbar currents) [2][3] and 2) no output BPF is required to meet the spectral mask, and therefore no RF energy is lost by this shaping filter [4]. The measured efficiency performance and the transmitted RF energy of the transmitter are depicted in Fig 5 for the rectangular and Gaussian pulse envelopes.…”

This paper describes configurable, 3.6 to 7.5 GHz pulse UWB transmitter IC targeted for neurological implants with high data rate requirements. Each cycle of the RF pulse is digitally programmable in amplitude and duration, enabling a very flexible shaping of the transmitted PSD signal, without the use of an output filter. The transmitter achieves a maximum of 34% of energy efficiency when drawing 8.5 pJ/bit from the supply, with 13 μW of constant static power. This transmitter was implemented in 65nm CMOS and measures 1.0 mm × 0.7 mm. A 32-channel recording experiment using this chip is also reported.
