Book Description
Abstract: Radio Frequency (RF) communication has developed tremendously over the past two decades. Short-range wireless applications, such as sensor networks, robotics, and home automation, require small area and low power consumption. The receiver must be designed in such a way that it optimizes the area with simple circuitry and minimizes its turn on time to achieve these requirements. This project focuses on designing the 16-PSK (Phase Shift Keying) super regenerative receiver to achieve digital transmission at a higher data rate with low power consumption. The receiver is designed with a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), Super Regenerative Oscillator (SRO), buffers, RC networks, latches, and flip-flops. The receiver is designed at the 400 MHz frequency with 130nm Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) process technology. This receiver can correctly detect the -80 dBm, 4-Mbps signal with a power consumption of 164 [mu]W and Energy Per Bit (EPB) of 0.041nj/b.
