A Low-Power Low-Complexity Transmitter for FM-UWB Systems

Abstract

Abstract-A frequency modulated ultra-wideband (FM-UWB) transmitter with a high-robust relaxation oscillator for subcarrier generation and a dual-path Ring VCO for RF FM is proposed, featuring low power and low complexity. A prototype 3.65-4.25 GHz FM-UWB transceiver employing the presented transmitter is fabricated in 0.18 μm CMOS for shortrange wireless data transmission. Experimental results show a bit error rate (BER) of 10 −6 at a data rate of 12.5 kb/s with a communication distance of 60 cm is achieved and the power dissipation of 4.3 mW for the proposed transmitter is observed from a 1.8 V supply.
