The design of a remotely UHF powered UWB transmitter is presented in 0.13µm CMOS standard process. Multi-Vt technique and CMOS logic allows pulse generator power consumption between two consecutive pulses to be reduced enough to be remotely powered. It achieves FCC compliant pulses having 2Vpp and a power consumption of 10.7uW@100kb.s-1 .
