Abstract:
Within many applications impulse radio based ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) transmission offers significant benefits for very short range high data rate communications when compared with existing standards and protocols. In many of these applications the main design goals are very low power consumption and very low complexity design for easy integration and cost reduction. Digitally programmable IR-UWB transmitters using an on-off keying modulation scheme on a 0.13 microns CMOS process operating on 1.2 V supply and yielding power consumption as low as 0.9 mW at a 10 Mbps data rate with dynamic power control are enabled. The IR-UWB transmitters support new frequency hopping techniques providing more efficient spectrum usage and dynamic allocation of the spectrum when transmitting in highly congested frequency bands. Biphasic scrambling is also introduced for spectral line reduction. Additionally, an energy detection receiver for IR-UWB is presented to similarly meet these design goals whilst being adaptable to address IR-UWB transmitter specificity.

Claim (Index 17):
A device comprising:\n a transmitter supporting operation as an impulse radio comprising:\n a radio frequency (RF) signal generator for encoding data to be transmitted, the RF signal generator coupled to an RF antenna and a control circuit; and \n the control circuit for controlling the generation of the encoded data such that each bit being transmitted is comprised of a plurality N pulses wherein each pulse of the N pulses is at a predetermined frequency of a plurality M frequencies, has a predetermined amplitude, and has a predetermined pulse length; wherein \n N\u22652; \n M\u22652; and \n M and N are integers; and \n each bit comprises pulses at the plurality M frequencies; and \n a receiver supporting operation as an impulse radio receiver comprising:\n a radio frequency (RF) receiver chain coupled to an antenna for processing RF signals received by the antenna comprising at least an energy detection circuit; wherein \n the RF receiver chain supports dynamic configuration to receive data encoded with a plurality of pulse based encoding schemes of which the pulse based encoding of the transmitter is one such pulse based encoding scheme; \n a first power control circuit selectively powering up and powering down predetermined portions of the transmitter in dependence upon the data being transmitted; and a second power control circuit selectively powering up and powering down predetermined portions of the receiver in dependence upon the data being received.
