A 16mA UWB 3-to-5GHz 20Mpulses/s Quadrature Analog Correlation Receiver in 0.18/spl mu/m CMOS

Abstract

A 3-to-5GHz quadrature analog correlation RX for UWB impulse radio draws 16mA at 20Mpulses/s, making it suitable for low-power low-data-rate applications. The RX is fully integrated in a CMOS 0.18μm process and comprises an LNA, quadrature LO generation and mixers, baseband filtering, an integrator, timing circuitry, and an ADC
