A Versatile 1.4-mW 6-bits CMOS ADC for Pulse-Based UWB Communication Systems

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Christian Robert, Frédéric Chastellain, Saeed Ghamari

An Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) using the low duty-cycle nature of pulse-based Ultra Wide-Band (UWB) communications to reduce its power consumption is proposed. Implemented in CMOS 180 nm technology, it can capture a 5 ns window at 4 GS/s each 100 ns, ...

Compact UWB antennas for Wireless Body Area Networks (W-BANs)

Anja Skrivervik, Jean-François Zürcher, Jovanche Trajkovikj

A major issue in Wireless Body Area Networks (W-BAN) is the reliability of the transmission in all conditions, thus in all locations and positions of the wearer. One way to achieve this is to design communication systems as independent as possible to the p ...

A novel, low-profile, vertically-polarized UWB antenna for WBAN

Anja Skrivervik, Jean-François Zürcher, Mohsen Koohestani

This paper proposes a novel, low-profile UWB antenna for wireless body area network (WBAN) applications. The antenna has a polarization perpendicular to the body-free-space interface, which is interesting in order to minimize the coupling into the body. It ...
