Download or read book Wideband FM Techniques for Low Power Wireless Communications written by John Gerrits and published by River Publishers. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ultra Wideband (UWB) communications are poised to enable short-range applications, such as remote health monitoring (e-health) and home or office automation. Sensor networks are also suitable candidates for UWB since the low radiated power of the UWB transmitter enables low DC power consumption, yielding long battery life and the possibility to use energy scavenging. Size and cost constraints require a low-complexity approach that allows multiple users to share the same RF bandwidth, and offers robustness to interference, frequency-selective multipath and antenna mismatch. Wideband FM Techniques for Low-Power Wireless Communications presents research and applications that have taken place in UWB Communications over the past years. This book is being published posthumously in agreement with the authors’ former colleagues from both the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM) and Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands.

Download or read book Ultra Low Power Transceiver for Wireless Body Area Networks written by Jens Masuch and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-28 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) are expected to promote new applications for the ambulatory health monitoring of chronic patients and elderly population, aiming to improve their quality of life and independence. These networks are composed by wireless sensor nodes (WSNs) used for measuring physiological variables (e.g., glucose level in blood or body temperature) or controlling therapeutic devices (e.g., implanted insulin pumps). These nodes should exhibit a high degree of energy autonomy in order to extend their battery lifetime or even make the node supply to rely on harvesting techniques. Typically, the power budget of WSNs is dominated by the wireless link and, hence, many efforts have been directed during the last years toward the implementation of power efficient transceivers. Because of the short range (typically no more than a few meters) and low data rate (typically in between 10 kb/s and 1 Mb/s), simple communication protocols can be employed. One of these protocols, specifically tailored for WBAN applications, is the Bluetooth low energy (BLE) standard. This book describes the challenges and solutions for the design of ultra-low power transceivers for WBANs applications and presents the implementation details of a BLE transceiver prototype. Coverage includes not only the main concepts and architectures for achieving low power consumption, but also the details of the circuit design and its implementation in a standard CMOS technology.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This thesis focuses on the design of a low power ultra wideband (UWB) transceiver and a low power sensor interface architecture, both for use in wireless sensor networks.Pulse-based UWB radios communicate using short broadband pulses, which allow the transceiver to be duty cycled such that power is only consumed when a pulse is being transmitted or received. This enables increased power savings when compared to traditional narrowband transceivers. The receiver designed here is based on peak detection, and it is shown that this type of non-coherent receiver can perform better than a more complex energy detection receiver in interference dominated environments (such as urban areas) in both an additive white Gaussian noise channel, and a multipath environment.The fabricated UWB receiver uses a clock and data recovery system to synchronize the local receiver clock to the transmitted data to reduce synchronization time and enable more efficient communications for sensor networks, which typically have a small data payload. By moving the synchronization to the analog domain, the size and power consumption of the digital backend is reduced significantly when compared to other receiver architectures. The clock and data recovery synchronization scheme also provides real time tracking of any variations in the transmitted data rate and the receiver clock, which minimizes the need for a high precision crystal reference in either system. The fabricated UWB transmitter is implemented by exciting a pulse shaping filter with a broadband pulse, and the resulting signal conforms to the FCC spectral mask including the GPS stopband. The demonstrated transceiver system achieves a sensitivity of -66.5 dBm with a power consumption of ~400 [mu]W at a 1 Mbps data rate, making it suitable for wireless sensor networks and other low power, low data rate systems.An architecture for an energy efficient sensor interface for frequency domain sensors is also presented. The proposed system produces a digital output with inherent temperature compensation without the need for a high accuracy temperature sensor, a heater, or a temperature insensitive clock. This architecture is targeted towards systems where the emphasis is placed on battery longevity as opposed to high resolution sensing, such as in wireless sensor nodes." --

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern wireless systems employ a variety of techniques to overcome limited spectrum issues. In order to exploit the full available spectrum it is highly desirable to have a single multi-functional and low cost ultra-wideband (UWB) transceiver. To this end, this dissertation proposes the following solutions, 1) receiver hardware reduction, 2) flexible and low cost back-ends for full spectrum utilization, and 3) full-duplex realization for concurrent transmit and receive. Central to the dissertation is the introduction of a novel on-site coding receiver (OSCR) architecture to significantly reduce hardware requirements at the analog back-end. At the digital back-end, single field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) are used for beamforming. Experimental validation was carried out to demonstrate OSCR using an 8-channel communication back-end operating from 300 - 3800 MHz. Specifically, direction of arrival estimates for multiple beams at different frequencies were successfully demonstrated. This architecture was shown to provide reductions of 85% in power, 80% in cost, and 60% in total hardware as opposed to typical transceivers. The dissertation also presents a full duplex communication approach for simultaneous transmit receive. Self-interference cancellation filters at the RF domain are presented and tested. They are shown to achieve more than 20 dB cancellation across 500 MHz. This should be compared to the narrowband of

Book excerpt: In this dissertation, low-power blocks in UWB transceiver systems are presented. In particular, the main focus of this study is how low-power blocks in an impulse radio UWB (IR-UWB) system can be employed in sensor networks such as Body Area Networks (BANs). The thesis is divided into three general parts. In the first part, the general history, definitions, regulations, and development of UWB systems are reviewed. In addition, a brief explanation of the fundamental concepts of radio frequency communication in short duration of pulses is given. In the second part, the startup behavior of LC-VCOs used in UWB transmitters is investigated. In order to decrease the power consumption of the circuits without adding any complexity, we deliberately introduce a small asymmetry into the VCO that can greatly reduce the oscillation start-up time. Finally, we study the super-regenerative receiver architecture and the challenges it presents. In this work, we have designed a low-power 4 Mb/s super-regenerative receiver in a 0.18 ℗æm CMOS process that tracks the incoming signal carrier pulse and synchronizes it with a pulse quench signal. The energy consumption for this receiver is 0.17 nJ/bit, which demonstrates the lowest energy consumption reported so far for an IR-UWB receiver system.
