WSN is wireless sensor network which consist of numbers of nodes. Transceiver has main role in WSN node. Transceiver consists of both transmitter as well as receiver. Power amplifier, low noise amplifier, mixer, voltage control oscillator are the main block of Transceiver. Power amplifiers are a key part of RF transmitters. 2.4 GHz RF CMOS power amplifier implemented with SMIC 0.13μm is propose...

— Various model parameter calculation equations of RF CMOS inductors are compared. The calculation equations are using as variables either Y, Z-parameters or S-parameters. Results are based on on-wafer RF S-parameter measurements of a 3.75 turn spiral inductor fabricated in AMIS 0.7 μm CMOS DM1P n-well technology. Results obtained with calculation equations for a differentially driven inductor ...

A fully CMOS integrated radio frequency (RF) transceiver for wireless sensor networks in sub-GHz ISMband applications is implemented and measured. The IC is fabricated in 0.18-μm CMOS technology and packaged in LPCC package. The fully monolithic transceiver consists of a receiver, a transmitter and a RF synthesizer with on-chip VCO. The chip fully complies with the IEEE 802.15.4 WPAN standard i...

This paper demonstrates the low voltage operation of a doubly balanced Gilbert mixer fabricated in a 0.8m CMOS process and operating as both a down-converter and an upconverter. As a down-converter with an RF input of 1.9 GHz, the mixer has a single sideband noise figure as low as 7.8 dB and achieved down-conversion gain for supply voltages as low as 1.8 V. As an up-converter, the mixer demonst...

Multiple independent radio frequency (RF) beams find applications in communications, radio astronomy, radar, and microwave imaging. An N -point FFT applied spatially across an array of receiver antennas provides N -independent RF beams at N 2 log 2 N multiplier complexity. Here, a low-complexity multiplierless approximation for the 8-point FFT is presented for RF beamforming, using only 26 addi...

This paper presents a new type diode connected MOS transistor to improve CMOS conventional rectifier's performance in RF energy harvester systems for wireless sensor networks in which the circuits are designed in 0.18  μm TSMC CMOS technology. The proposed diode connected MOS transistor uses a new bulk connection which leads to reduction in the threshold voltage and leakage current; therefore, ...
