Abstract
A digital baseband cognitive radio spectrum sensing processor with 200-kHz resolution over 200-MHz bandwidth is integrated in 1.64 mm <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex Notation="TeX">$^{2}$</tex></formula> in 65-nm CMOS. The processor uses adaptive channel-specific threshold and sensing time to achieve detection probability <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">${\geq} $</tex> </formula> 0.9 and false-alarm probability <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">${\leq} $</tex></formula> 0.1 for <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex Notation="TeX">${-} $</tex></formula> 5-dB SNR and adjacent-band interferers of 30-dB INR within a 50-ms sensing time. The chip power and area are minimized by jointly considering algorithm, architecture, and circuit parameters. The chip dissipates 7.4 mW for a 200-MHz sensing bandwidth, which is a 22 <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">$\times$</tex></formula> reduction in power per sensing bandwidth compared with prior work.
