A Low-Power 10Mbps Squaring-First UWB Receiver Using Frequency Hopping and Two-Tone Modulation

A Low-Power 10Mbps Squaring-First UWB Receiver Using Frequency Hopping and Two-Tone Modulation 150 150
Author(s): Lexie Drackley, Aman Gupta, David D. Wentzloff

Abstract:

This paper presents a low-power 10Mbps squaring-first ultra-wideband (UWB) receiver using frequency hopping code-division multiple-access (FH-CDMA) and two-tone OOK modulation for wireless personal area networks (WPAN). The two-tone receiver architecture preserves IF filtering, improves resilience to narrowband interference, and saves power by eliminating the RF local oscillator. FH is applied …

A 12-Gb/s Source-Synchronous Single-Ended PAM-4 Transceiver With Background Adaptive Crosstalk Equalization in 28-nm CMOS

A 12-Gb/s Source-Synchronous Single-Ended PAM-4 Transceiver With Background Adaptive Crosstalk Equalization in 28-nm CMOS 150 150
Author(s): DongArm Shin, Kuy Youn Chung, Sihoon Yang, SeongHwan Cho

Abstract:

This article presents a background adaptive crosstalk (XT) equalization technique for a single-endedfour-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-4) interface to maintain accurate XT cancellation (XTC) under environmental variations. A least-mean-square (LMS) adaptation loop adjusts the XT equalizer using a source-synchronous clock as an aggressor reference uncorrelated with the victim. At the …

A 108-Gb/s PAM-8 CTLE + FFE Receiver Front-End With 1.4-Vppd Input Range in 28-nm CMOS 150 150
Author(s): Sangwan Lee, Heedo Jeong, Hanhee Jo, Hwanseok Jung, Jaeduk Han

Abstract:

This article presents a 108-Gb/s 8-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-8) receiver front-end capable of handling a wide input dynamic range to overcome the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) versus linearity tradeoff in higher-order modulation schemes. The proposed architecture employs a multi-path continuous-time linear equalizer (CTLE) with a bias-shifting technique, which splits …

A Multiply-and-Accumulate SAR-ADC-Based Hybrid Slepian Beamformer

A Multiply-and-Accumulate SAR-ADC-Based Hybrid Slepian Beamformer 150 150
Author(s): Zhengqi Xu, Zhiyuan Zhao, Michael A. Laun, Coleman DeLude, Justin Romberg, Michael P. Flynn

Abstract:

This article introduces a hybrid Slepian beamforming receiver architecture with low power and area costs. Traditional large-scale true-time-delay (TTD) beamformers for wideband wireless communication suffer from high power consumption and high hardware costs. As an alternative, the Slepian beamforming approach reduces the number of analog-to-digital conversions (ADCs) and delays for …
