Abstract
This paper presents a low-power ultra-wideband baseband transmitter designs for wireless body area networks (WBAN). This is the first time a baseband architecture for UWB PHY is implemented according to the standard IEEE 802.15.6. Since WBAN is the network around the humanbody there are stringent requirements associated with it such as high security, low power consumption and reliable communication. To incorporate these features in baseband transmitter, an efficient, simple BCH encoder is used for random error protection and to combat burst errors an optimum size interleaver is used. A low complexity transmitter controller and an efficient algorithm for determining the interleaver size has been implemented. Two different architectures have been implemented in 0.13 μm CMOS technology which are operated at 487.5 kHz system clock with 1.08 V supply.
