Abstract
This paper presents a baseband processor architecture for pulsed ultra-wideband signals. It consists of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a clock generation system, and a digital back-end. The clock generation system provides different phases of a 300-MHz clock using four differential inverter stages. The specification of the jitter standard deviation is 100 ps. The Flash interleaved ADC provides four bit samples at 1.2 Gsps. The back-end uses parallelization to process these samples and to reduce the signal acquisition time to 65 /spl mu/s. The entire synchronization algorithm is implemented in the digital domain, without feeding any signals back to the clock control. The baseband processor and ADC were implemented on the same 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS die at 1.8 V as part of a complete baseband transceiver. A wireless data rate of 193 kb/s is demonstrated.
