All digital programmable Gaussian pulse generator for ultra-wideband transmitter

We demonstrate an all-digital ultra-wideband transmitter that implements programmable Gaussian monocycles. We show test results from a prototype chip in 0.5 um CMOS process and show simulation results from a 65nm CMOS process.
