A WiMedia/MBOA-Compliant CMOS RF Transceiver for UWB

Abstract

A fully integrated WiMedia/MBOA-compliant RF transceiver for UWB data communication in the 3 to 5GHz band is presented. It is designed in a 0.13μm standard CMOS process with 1.5V single supply voltage. The NF is between 3.6 and 4.1dB over all 3 bands. On the TX side, the P1dB is 5dBm supporting an EVM of -28dB and up to -4dBm output power. A single-PLL LO generation is included
