Abstract

This thesis discusses the design and implementation of a transmitter and a receiver for an FM-UWB scheme in CMOS. The main challenge is to reach a power efficiency of better than 10 nJ/bit at a data rate of 100 kbit/s for both the transmitter and the receiver design. This thesis also discusses the design and implementation of a power management unit for an autonomous wireless system. The challenge in this design is to obtain a high efficiency DC-DC conversion using the switched capacitor topology and low voltage ripple at the output voltage.
