Abstract—This paper presents three configurations of Ultra Wideband (UWB) Pulse Generators (PGs). The Generators target low power applications operating in the frequency range 3.1-10.6 GHz. The designs use logic gates and buffered filters to generate a Gaussian 5th derivative pulse. The used technology is 0.13 μm from TSMC. The lowest power consumption and highest BW achieved are 0.13 mW and 7.1 GHz respectively. In terms of Power Spectral Density (PSD), the designs comply with the -41.3 dBm FCC requirements.

Index Terms—Ultra wideband, pulse generators, gaussian pulse, ring oscillator.
