A 100Mbps, 0.19mW asynchronous threshold detector with DC power-free pulse discrimination for impulse UWB receiver

摘要

An asynchronous threshold detector for DC-960MHz band impulse ultra-wideband (UWB) receiver is proposed in this paper. It features a DC power-free pulse discriminator. The proposed architecture in 90nm CMOS achieves the lowest power consumption of 0.19mW and energy consumption of 1.9pJ/bit at 100Mbps in the UWB receiver.
