At lower bitrates the bit error rate is even lower: a 1 Gbit/s 10mV/sub pp/, input signal results in a bit error rate of 7/spl middot/10/sup -14/. The rms jitter is 12ps.

In this paper we analyze the leakage current associated to look up tables, the basic elaboration units of LUT-based FPGAs, giving a characterization in terms of timing performance, inactive and active leakage power consumption. We propose a circuit implementation to reduce leakage, avoiding delay and silicon area increase. The adopted solutions are based on multi-threshold and self reverse biasing techniques. As results we reduce the inactive leakage power by 88%, the active one by 64%, having 5% delay degradation and a negligible silicon area increase.","PeriodicalId":239980,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 31st European Solid-State Circuits Conference, 2005.

This paper presents, to the best of the authors' knowledge, the first 4 /spl times/ 4 MIMO-OFDM WLAN physical layer ASIC based on the OFDM specifications of the IEEE 802.1 la standard. The ASIC achieves an uncoded throughput of 192 Mbps in a 20 MHz channel resulting in a spectral efficiency of 9.6 bits/s/Hz. We describe the hardware architectural differences to single-antenna OFDM systems as well as the extensions made necessary by the use of multiple antennas.
