A 910MHz Injection Locked BFSK Transceiver for Wireless Body Sensor Network Using Colpitts Oscillator

A 910MHz high efficiency RF transceiver for Wireless Body Area Network in medical application is presented in this paper. High energy efficiency transmitter and receiver architectures are proposed. In wireless body sensor network, the transmitter must have higher efficiency compared with the receiver because a large amount of data is sent from sensor node to receiver of the base station and sma...

A 0.6pJ/b 3Gb/s/ch transceiver in 0.18 µm CMOS for 10mm on-chip interconnects

This paper presents a high speed and low energy transceiver for 10mm long minimum width on-chip global interconnects. To improve the link bandwidth, the transmitter employs a capacitive-resistive pre-emphasis technique and the receiver employs the AC-coupled Resistive Feedback Inverter (RFI) de-emphasis technique. Exploiting two emphasis techniques, the proposed interconnect achieves 1.26GHz ba...

A Low-Overhead and Low-Power RF Transceiver for Short-Distance On- and Off-Chip Interconnects

One of the most difficult problems that remains to be solved in wire interconnect architectures is the achievement of lower latency and higher concurrency on a shared bus or link without increasing the power and circuit overhead. Novel improvements in short distance onand off-chip interconnects can be provided by using a multi-band RF interconnect (RF-I) system. Unlike the conventional currento...

A Power Efficient 2Gb/s Transceiver in 90nm CMOS for 10mm On-Chip Interconnect

Global on-chip data communication is becoming a concern as the gap between transistor speed and interconnect bandwidth increases with CMOS process scaling. In this paper a low-swing transceiver for 10mm long 0.54μm wide on-chip interconnect is presented, which achieves a similar data rate as previous designs (a few Gb/s), but at much lower power than recently published work. Both low static pow...
