FM-UWB Transceivers for Autonomous Wireless Systems

Nitz Saputra

Significant research effort has been devoted to the study and realization of autonomous wireless systems for wireless sensor and personal-area networking, the internet of things, and machine-to-machine communications. Low-power RF integrated circuits, an energy harvester and a power management circuit are fundamental elements of these systems.

FM-UWB Transceivers for Autonomous Wireless Systems presents state-of-the-art developments in low-power FM-UWB transceiver realizations. The design, performance and implementation of prototype transceivers in CMOS technology are presented. A working hardware realization of an autonomous node that includes a prototype power management circuit is also proposed and detailed in this book.

Technical topics include:

  • Low-complexity FM-UWB modulation schemes
  • Low-power FM-UWB transceiver prototypes in CMOS technology
  • CMOS on-chip digital calibration techniques
  • Solar power harvester and power management in CMOS for low-power RF circuits

FM-UWB Transceivers for Autonomous Wireless Systems is an ideal text and reference for engineers working in wireless communication industries, as well as academic staff and graduate students engaged in electrical engineering and communication systems research.

About the Author

Long, John R.: - John R. Long received the B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Calgary in 1984, and the M.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees in Electronics from Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, in 1992 and 1996, respectively. He worked in industry for 12 years in the Advanced Technology Laboratory at Bell-Northern Research in Ottawa, and an academic at the University of Toronto (1996-2002) and as Chair of the Electronics Research Laboratory at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands (2002-2014). In January 2015 he was appointed Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo in Canada. His current research interests include low-power and broadband circuits for highly-integrated wireless transceivers, energy-efficient wireless sensors, mm-wave IC design, and electronics design for high-speed data communications. Professor Long is editor-in-chief of the IEEE RFIC Virtual Journal, and a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society. He has served as an organizer and program committee member for many IEEE sponsored conferences, including: the ISSCC (1998-2011), the IEEE-BCTM (2006 conference General Chair and local organizer), the ESSCIRC (2003- 2014) and EuMIC (conference co-Chair in 2009 and 2012). Professor Long is also a former Associate Editor of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits. He received the NSERC Doctoral Prize, Douglas R. Colton and Governor General's Medals for research excellence, and is co-recipient of Best Paper Awards from ISSCC (2000 and 2007), BCTM (2003 and 2014), the RFIC Symposium (2006, 2011 and 2013), and EuMW in 2006.
Saputra, Nitz: - Nitz Saputra received the B.Eng. degree with honors from the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore in 2002, and the M.Sc. (cum laude), and Ph.D. degrees from Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands, in 2005 and 2012 respectively. He worked in industry with Marvell Asia, Singapore (2002-2003), DIMES, the Netherlands (2006-2007), and Broadcom Netherlands B.V., the Netherlands (2012-2013). Since October 2013 he joined Qualcomm Inc., USA. His current research interests include low-power analog, mixed-signal, and RF circuit design in CMOS and advanced FinFET technology.
