Ultra-Wideband pulse generator for time-encoding wireless transmission

The paper presents implementation of the Ultra-Wideband (UWB) pulse generator suitable for wireless transmission of time-encoded pulse train. Application of the UWB pulse generator enables direct pulsed triggering from the output of Time Encoding Machine (TEM). The pulse generator circuit is designed in IHP 0.24 μm SG25H3 technology. The paper presents simulation results for the pulse power spectral density and time domain results for the corresponding input and output signals. The pulse generator circuit is expected to consume 189 pJ energy per transmitted pulse and covers area of 0.132 mm
²
. Expected output pulse width is equal to 301 ns and output voltage swing 502 mV.
