Abstract :
This paper presents a novel burst generator architecture dedicated to Ultra Wideband wireless communication systems based on Impulse Radio techniques. Bursts are generated by using an oscillator output signal controlled both in magnitude and phase with a high-speed digital circuit in order to limit output signal bandwidth in accordance with IEEE 802.15.4a standard requirements. The design has been integrated on a single-chip in the 65nm CMOS STMicroelectronics technology under a 1.2 V supply voltage and functionnal measurements are presented.
