Compressed sensing (CS) is an emerging technology that can be applied to impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) receivers. CS represents an attractive solution for its capability of recovering a signal from a small number of measurements using sub-Nyquist sampling rate analog to digital converters (ADC). In this paper we investigate practical design parameters for low power CS based UWB system, including...
Compressed sensing (CS) based impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) receiver has attracted much attention in recent years. This paper presents an architectural analysis of the CS-based IR-UWB receiver with focuses on investigating the random noise processes in the CS measurement procedure. We find that different noise sources (sky noise or amplifier noise) and different receiver architectures (parallel...
Compressed sensing (CS) is an emerging technique which enables sub-Nyquist sampling of sparse or compressible signals. The application of CS theory in the impulse radio ultrawideband (IR-UWB) receiver design has recently attracted much attention. This paper provides an exploration of the CS-based IR-UWB receiver from different aspects: front-end hardware architectures, back-end signal processing algorithms...
Non-coherent energy detection (ED) IR-UWB receivers exhibit strong advantages in low data rate, low power and low cost applications such as RFID and Wireless Sensor Networks. However, the performance of ED receivers is usually suffered from the noise enhancement due to the large time-bandwidth product. The integration region of the receiver integrator significantly affects the bit error rate (BER)...
This paper proposes a novel low-power fully-differential ultra-wideband (UWB) low noise amplifier (LNA) for 6-9-GHz UWB receivers in digital 90nm CMOS. The capacitive cross-coupled common-gate (CG) stage is cascaded with a cross-coupled common-source (CS) second stage to perform the wideband input impedance matching, low noise figure (NF), low power, and flat-high-wideband gain which is due to the...
Next generation RFID towards ubiquitous wireless sensing and identification requires high network throughput along with long operation range and ultra low energy consumption. In this paper, we review future RFID for ubiquitous intelligence and their technology needs from system to device perspectives. As a promising enabling technology, ultra wideband radio (UWB) and its use in various RFID implementations...
This paper analyzes architectures of the low noise amplifier (LNA) for orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexing ultra-wideband (OFDM-UWB) application. Until now, most UWB LNA implementations are focusing how to realize a single LNA covering the whole frequency band. In this work three popular wide-band LNA architectures are compared to a proposed parallel LNA architecture in which different amplifiers...
This paper investigates the packet error rate (PER) performance enhancement through the antenna and the transceiver co-design for MB-OFDM UWB system. Five different UWB antennas, covering the whole UWB spectrum, are selected for study. Through the link-margin analysis and PER performance simulation, radio transceiver design specifications are optimized according to different antennaspsila performance...
In this paper an on-chip tunable Impulse-Ultra Wide Band Transmitter is presented. It is capable of modifying the power emission to comply with the FCC regulations at different pulse rates up to 300 MHz using two external controls. The maximum power consumption is 1.2 mW and 142 muW at 300 MHz and 10 MHz PRF respectively with a leakage current of 100 nA. The prototype has been designed in 0.18 UMC...
