Short-Range Low-Data-Rate FM-UWB Transceivers: Overview, Analysis, and Design.

This paper summarizes and compares various circuit configurations of sub-modules and RF front-ends for frequency modulated ultra-wideband (FM-UWB), and analyzes the transceiver design parameters and link margin. High-robust relaxation oscillator for subcarrier generation, low-power ring oscillators for RF FM, automatic frequency calibration (AFC) for system robustness, and preamplifier-latch based...
