Abstract
A fully integrated single ended IR-UWB receiver is implemented using 0.18 ${\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The UWB receiver adopts the non-coherent architecture, which simplifies the RF architecture and reduces power consumption. The receiver consists of single-ended 2-stage LNAs, S2D, envelope detector, VGA, and comparator. The measured results show that sensitivity is -80.8 dBm at 1 Mbps and BER of $10^{-3}$. The receiver uses no external balun and the chip size is only $1.8{\times}0.9$ mm. The consumed current is very low with 13 mA at 1.8 V supply and the energy per bit performance is 23.4 nJ/bit.
