Abstract :
A CMOS analog correlator designed using SMIC® 0.18μm CMOS mixed and RF technology is proposed in this paper. The correlator is mainly composed of a Gilbert cell, common mode feedback (CMFB) circuit, capacitor load and buffer. The correlator can be used in the ultra wideband (UWB) receivers.
