Abstract

A single-chip broadband CMOS receiver front-end, integrating a low-noise amplifier (LNA), a correlator and a template pulse generator, was investigated in non-sinusoidal time-domain environment for possible use as a carrierless ultra-wideband (UWB) receiver front-end. Particularly, the CMOS LNA and the multiplier making up the core component of the correlator were designed, fabricated and tested to verify operation in the UWB range. Time-domain results of the integrated CMOS receiver front-end demonstrate its workability as a receiver for non-sinusoidal UWB applications.
