Abstract:
This paper presents a design of an ultra-low power UWB transmitter based on 4th and 5th derivative Gaussian pulse shapes implemented in UMC 90nm CMOS technology. The simulations show 119mV peak to peak pulse amplitude and the pulse width of 240 ps for the 5th derivative Gaussian pulse and 99.71mV pulse amplitude and 190 ps pulse width for the 4th derivative Gaussian pulse. Power consumption of the pulse generators are calculated 30.11 uW and 21.5 uW for the 5th and 4th derivative Gaussian pulse respectively at a 100MHz pulse repeating frequency (PRF). Ultra-low power radio transmission is important in such application contexts as wireless network nodes and sensors powered by energy harvesters.
