Abstract

Ultra-short Gaussian monocycle pulses (GMP) of 280 ps pulse width, -20.2 dB ringing level and 3.6 GHz center frequency were generated in 0.18 μm CMOS in which meander dipole antennas were integrated for impulse radio based ultra-wideband transmitter system. The transmission and reception of the generated GMP in the CMOS chip and between the chips by use of the integrated meander dipole antennas were successfully demonstrated at a pulse repetition rate of 1.16 Gbps for the first time.
