A Charge-Domain Auto- and Cross-Correlation Based Data Synchronization Scheme Wi

Abstract

A 1.2 V 100 Mb/s 2.93 mW discrete-time charge-do- main impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) receiver is devel- oped in 65 nm CMOS. In the charge-domain, the template of the correlator is represented by capacitance and the correlation is implemented by charge addition instead of voltage multiplication and voltage integration. Power consumption of the charge-domain receiver is minimized by a novel aut o- and cross-correlation based synchronization scheme. To reduce the power consumption and the c
