Abstract

This paper demonstrates an electromagnetic waves receiver (EMWR) with new architecture for finding the good performances at the very wide frequency range of 2.8 to 10.8 GHz. The proposed device applies conventional pulse position modulation (PPM) scheme for modulation. The combination of 8th–8th-order derivative of Gaussian pulse is used as impulse received signal. The EMW receiver circuit with core chip dimension of 32 × 10−3 mm2 was modeled in a 90 nm CMOS technology. The output amplitude pulse yielded 200 mV peak-to-peak under a supply voltage of 2.2 V. This circuit consumes 12 pJ/pulse at 0.5 GHz pulse-repeating frequency. The designed device can be employed in the transceiver systems in presence the multipath channel for 2.8 GHz to 10.8 GHz. Results express that the proposed system not only decrease the interference with narrowband (NB) systems, but is also robust against NB interference at the operating frequency of 7 GHz. Regarding to results, the EMWR can be used in radio frequency (RF) and wireless receiver applications.
