Abstract
A piece-wise linear approximated baseband Square Root Raised Cosine (SRRC) pulse and its up-conversion to IR-UWB WBAN (Impulse-Radio UWB Wireless Body Area Networks) channel in compliance to the IEEE 802.15.6 Standard is proposed. The baseband SRRC pulse is designed on a six-segment model. The proposed approximation conforms to the specified spectral mask at the mandatory low band channel at the central frequency of 4 GHz and having a bandwidth of 500 MHz. The key features of the proposed design is reduced hardware complexity due to the use of sampler based up-conversion circuitry followed by switched capacitor band pass filter. The circuit is designed using 0.18$\mu$m standard CMOS technology. The simulation results show that, the average energy consumption for generation of SRRC RF pulse is around 43.7 pJ/pulse.
