A Low-Complexity CMOS Receiver for UWB signals

It is well-known that GPS is a widely used technology for localization in outdoors environments. Nonetheless, such standard fails to provide a practical and accurate solution for localization and ranging applications within indoor environments due to the need of satellites and meter-level accuracy, which is poor for indoor environments. It is in...

An Energy-Efficient, Resistor-Based, Smart Temperature Sensor

Design of a fully integrated CMOS highly temperature stable frequency reference

A new fully integrated frequency reference has been designed, fabricated and measured. The goal of the design procedure has been high stability of the frequency over temperature variations. This should be achieved using a CMOS technology without MEMS and crystals, while being restricted by a very low power budget. The frequency is designed based...
