Low power high data rate GHz range receiver in 40nm CMOS technology

Abstract

In this paper, a low power high data rate OOK receiver at GHz range is proposed. An injected locked ring oscillator based local oscillator is used for data demodulation. Implemented with a standard 40nm CMOS process, the receiver is able to recover an input signal with 1–4 GHz carrier frequency at the data rate of 50 Mbps while consuming less than 300 µW.
