ASK 100% RF 입력신호를 이용하는 13.56MHz RFID 태그를 위한 클럭 복원회로를 제안하였다. 제안한 클럭 복원회로는, 레지스터로 조절되는 DLL을 이용하여 입력 RF 신호의 크기가 0인 구간에서도 기준 클럭 신호를 사용하지 클럭을 생성하도록 설계되었다. 제안한 회로는 TSMC 0.18um 1P6M 공정을 사용하여 설계하였으며, 제안된 회로는 DLL의 위상 잠김 시간이 6.4usec 이하이며 공급전압이 3.3V에서 43uW를 소모한다.

This work presents an Internet of Things (IoT) system for home energy management based on a custom-designed Impulse Radio Ultra-Wideband (IR-UWB) transceiver that targets a generic and multi-standard control system. This control system enables the interoperability of heterogeneous devices: it integrates various sensor nodes based on ZigBee, EnOcean and UWB in the same middleware by utilizing an ad-hoc layer as an interface between the hardware and software. The paper presents as a first the design of the IR-UWB transceiver for a portable sensor node integrated with the middleware layer, and also describes the receiver connected to the control system. The custom-designed low-power transmitter on the sensor node is fabricated with 130 nm CMOS technology. It generates a signal with a 1.1 ns pulse width while consuming $39{\mu}W$ at 1 Mbps. The UWB sensor node with a temperature measurement capability consumes 5.31 mW, which is lower than the power level of state-of-the-art solutions for smart-home applications. The UWB hardware and software layers necessary to interface with the control system are verified in over-the-air measurements in an actual office environment. With the implementation of the presented sensor node and its integration in the energy management system, we demonstrate achievement of the broad flexibility demanded for IoT.
