INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

In the recent pass, both academia and industry field have shown a substantial general interested in wireless medium communications, Ultra-wideband (UWB) transmission applications [1, 2]. Having numerous advantages such as high data rate on very low power and short distance range technology makes UWB as a fascinating technology. Those benefits placed UWB as an interesting technology for military and medical applications that uses radar and information sensing.

Figure 1.1: Example of direct-conversion transceiver

Figure 1.1 shows the example of direct-conversion transceiver. It is to give brief picture that power amplifier (PA) is a critical component that is capable to deliver high power for UWB transmitter. However, the implementation of Radio Frequency (RF) power amplifier is one of the challenging aspects in emerging …show more content…

In this chapter, the topic included was project overview, problem statements, objectives, project scope and report outline.
Chapter 2 is covered by literature review. It is an overview about UWB technologies as it stated it’s the benefits of UWB in terms of its characteristics features and applications. This chapter is also concern about the concepts of CMOS technology. Fundamentals of power amplifier are also included in Chapter 2 such as the specification of the power amplifier performance, the linear and switching mode classes, and the its topology,. Not to mention the previous works related to CMOS power amplifier for UWB applications are at the last part of the chapter.
Chapter 3 covers the design methodology that is proposed for this low band UWB CMOS power amplifier project. It consists of project design stages, project flow chart process and project planning timeline on completing this final year project. It also dwells with the proposed power amplifier design specification and expected outcome for this
