UWB 100Mb/s 3.1-10.6GHz Transceiver Chipset

This chip is the RF front-end for a 100Mb/s pulsed ultra-wideband (UWB) transceiver that communicates in 14 channels spaced 528 MHz apart in the 3.1-10.6 GHz band. It features an FCC compliant BPSK pulse-shaping transmitter, a direct-conversion receiver with 802.11a notch filtering, and two cross-coupled quadrature VCOs. The chip was fabricated in a 0.18µm SiGe BiCMOS process.
