Abstract

In wireless communication, the Ultrawide Band (UWB) is a technique for achieving a higher data rate, low power consumption, and less complexity. Impulse Radio - Ultra-Wide Band (IR-UWB) uses the baseband signal technique, reducing circuit complexity and power consumption. This work proposes an IR-UWB transmitter block with low power and tunable bandwidth that meets the UWB regulations of LRP (Low-Rate Pulse) UWB. The transmitter proposed uses a time-interleaved architecture using 0.18um CMOS technology using Cadence Virtuoso, which consists of On Off Keying (OOK) Circuit for the four stages of a pulse generator that operates in 6.17GHz-9.10GHz. The width of the pulse is between 0.096ns to 0.162ns using a current steering inverter. The proposed transmitter block has an output swing of 30 mV at 1MHz input Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF) and a maximum PRF of 1GHz, at a 1GHz pulse rate, the power consumption was measured to be 8.3 mW.
