Abstract

This paper presents a WBAN UWB receiver circuit for RTLS(real time location system) and wireless data communication. The UWB receiver is designed to OOK modulation for energy detection. The UWB receiver is designed for sub-sampling techniques using 4bit ADC and DLL.The proposed UWB receiver is designed in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS and consumes 61mA with a 1.8V supply voltage. The UWB receiver achieves a sensitivity of -85.7 dBm, a RF front-end gain of 42.1 dB, a noise figure of 3.88 dB and maximum sensing range of 4 meter.

본 논문에서는 무선 통신 및 근거리 위치 인식이 가능한 WBAN(wireless body area network) 용 UWB(Ultra-wide band) 수신기 회로를 제안한다. UWB 수신기는 에너지 검출 방식의 OOK(on-off keying) 변조가 가능하도록 설계가 되었다. 고속의 sampling 을 하기 위해서 4bit ADC 는 DLL(delay locked loop) 을 이용하여 sub-sampling 기법을 사용하도록 설계되었다. 제안된 UWB 수신기는 CMOS $0.18{\mu}m$ 공정을 이용하여 설계되었으며, 전원 전압 1.8V에서 61mA의 전류를 소모하면서 -85.7dBm의 수신 감도, 42.1dB의 RF front-end 게인, 3.88 dB의 noise figure, 최대 4m 까지의 거리 감지 성능을 가지고 있다.
