Abstract

This paper presents a carrier-based impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) transmitter, tailored explicitly for oncortex implants and seizure forecasting applications, utilizing advanced 28 nm HPC TSMC CMOS technology. The compact design occupies 0.043 ~mm2, ensuring suitability for integration within a 1 ~mm2, 49-channel neural recorder. Operating with a pulse repetition frequency of 770 MHz and a central frequency of 4.8 GHz, the transmitter is designed to achieve a high output energy of 500 pJ per bit. Despite its low voltage operation, boasting a supply voltage of 1.2 V, the transmitter delivers an output peak-to-peak differential voltage amplitude (Vp p) of 2.32 V. The high output voltage amplitude is achieved using an innovative antenna driver, enhancing energy efficiency per bit by up to 9. 8 %. This results in a competitive figure of merit of 2.98 ~W /(Hz ċ J ċ mm2).
