Abstract

This paper presents a fully integrated 3 - 5 GHz IR-UWB(impulse radio ultra-wide band) RFIC for Location based system. The receiver architecture adopts the energy detection method and for high speed sampling, the equivalent time sampling technique using the integrated DLL(delay locked loop) and 4 bit ADC. The digitally synthesized UWB impulse generator with low power consumption is also designed. The designed IR-UWB RFIC is implemented on $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The receiver's sensitivity is -85.7 dBm and the current consumption of receiver and transmitter is 32 mA and 25.5 mA respectively at 1.8 V supply.

본 논문에서는 근거리 위치 기반 시스템을 위한 3 - 5 GHz IR-UWB(impulse radio-ultra wide band) RFIC를 제안한다. 수신기의 구조는 에너지 검출 방식으로 설계되었고, 고속 sampling을 하기 위해서 4 bit ADC 와 DLL(delay locked loop) 을 이용하여 equivalent-time sampling 기술을 사용하도록 설계되었다. 송신기는 저전력의 디지털 UWB impulse generator 를 설계하였다. 설계된 IR-UWB RFIC 는 CMOS $0.18{\mu}m$ 공정을 이용하여 제작되었다. 측정된 수신기의 감도는 -85.7 dBm 이며, 송신기와 수신기는 1.8 V 전원 전압에서 각각 32 mA 와 25.5 mA 의 전류를 소모한다.
