An IEEE802.15.4ab/a/z Compatible IR-UWB 2TRX with Dual-Antenna Full-Duplex 1x3 SIMO Radar Sensing and Aliasing Suppressing Semi-Synchronous TX
This work presents an 802.15.4ab/a/z compatible IR-UWB 2TRX highlighting a full-duplex-based radar and a semisynchronous TX. The matching and isolation techniques proposed in the electrical-balance-duplexer (EBD)-based fullduplex RF front-end (FE) enable state-of-the-art (SoTA) shortdistance radar performance at <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$1.7\times$</tex> smaller form factor. An asynchronous first-order-hold (FoH) switched-capacitor power amplifier (SCPA) with a delay-locked-loop (DLL)-based calibration is proposed in the TX. This pushes the aliasing sidelobes to 5dB lower compared to the SoTA.
