Abstract :
This paper describes a monolithic integrated transmitter intended for impulse radio (IR) Ultra-wide band (UWB) applications including indoor communication and indoor localization. The transmitter operates in the higher UWB band centered at 7.68 GHz and it is optimized for a pulse bandwidth of about 1.5 GHz. The transmitter generates single pulses with a repetition rate of 60 MHz and utilizes pulse position modulation (8-PPM) for data communication. A dedicated time-of-arrival (TOA) measurement extension supports precise indoor localization in conjunction with an appropriate UWB receiver. The demonstrated spatial ranging resolution is about 3.9 centimeter under line-of-sight conditions.
