Abstract

In this paper, we design a modem SoC (System on Chip) for low power consumption and high speed wireless communications. Among various schemes of high speed communications, an MB-OFDM (Multi Band-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) UWB (Ultra-Wide-Band) chip is designed. The MB-OFDM uses wide-band frequency to provide high speed data rate. Additionally, the system imposes no interference to other services. The 90nm CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) technology is used for the SoC design. Especially, power management mode is implemented to reduce the power consumption.
