“…Nevertheless, this envelope is not easy to generate from the electronic point of view. However, it can be noted that other pulse envelopes allow high sidelobes rejection level such as the Gaussian one [21] or the cardinal sine one.…”

Ultra-WideBand Impulse Radio (IR-UWB) is a wireless communication technology well-suited for short range communications (about 10 meters) and has the advantage to allow real-time location with a precision of 5 cm. However, its use has been standardized in some standards and especially in the IEEE 802.15.4 dedicated to Wireless Personnal Area Network (WPAN) and in the IEEE 802.15.6 dedicated to Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN). After presenting requirements of each standard and a literature survey on the IR-UWB emitter, the design of a multi-standard IR-emitter based on the frequency transposition pulse synthesis is proposed in a 28 nm FD-SOI technology. The proposed design has been validated at the transistor level using electrical simulations which take into account the parasitic capacitance at each critical node of the circuit. Moreover, results show that the proposed circuit has the potential to be the first multi-standard IR-UWB emitter which covers every channel of the IEEE 802.15.4 and 802.15.6 standards.

“…Among the IR-UWB pulse generator reported architectures, one uses voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO) combined with a shaper circuit [5], meanwhile, other uses baseband pulses combiner, using delay cells [6]. Both works target an IR-UWB pulse generator whose generated pulse shape fits in spectral masks defined by the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, that defines 15 channels divided in 3 groups and whose bandwidth is between 499 MHz and 1355 MHz (Fig.…”

This paper presents an ultra-wideband pulse generator based on a duty-cycled 2-ASK emitter able to generate OOK and BPSK modulated carriers. This emitter uses a differential architecture which has been designed in FD-SOI 28 nm CMOS technology with a supply voltage of 1.0 V. It presents a fast enough transient response to entirely cover the 3.1-10.6 GHz FCC band. Moreover, it can be quickly turnedon and turned-off which allow 3 ns pulses to be generated and also, low power impulse communications to be implemented. The emitter is built around a wideband Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) which is able to generate at its outputs large oscillations from 1.0 GHz to 13.9 GHz. When the emitter is used as a 3 ns pulse generator centred on 7987 MHz, its energy consumption is 152.7 pJ/pulse, and the static power consumption is 3.83 μW. This leads to a mean power consumption of 5.36 µW (resp. 19.1 µW and 156 µW) for a pulse repetition frequency of 10 kHz (resp. 100 kHz and 1 MHz), which highlights the interest of impulse modulations for low power radio-frequency communications.
