ABSTRACT

One of the main implementation challenges in the ultrawide-band(UWB) radio is the design of efficient amplifiers. The difficultyin amplifying an UWB signal stems from its bandwidth beinga large fraction of the amplifier gain-bandwidth product. This paperdescribes a methodology and the tradeoffs associated with thedesign of UWB amplifiers. The amplifiers are designed to minimizea new performance metric, which we refer to as the effectivenoise figure (NF). The effective NF measures the degradationcaused by the amplifier in the achievable receiver performance afterthe digital decoding process, which is ultimately the most relevantmeasure of performance.
