Description
Summary:TransferJet™, based on DSSS-UWB, is a promising standard protocol which provides users high-speed, short-range, simple-usage, low-power and robust connectivity. Since its communication distance is limited to a few centimeters, the required TX output power is small enough to meet regulatory restrictions in many countries. This paper presents the first SoC that implements PHY and Connection Layer (CNL) functionality from the TransferJet™ and ECMA-398 standards. All the RF building blocks as well as digital baseband are integrated including PHY, CNL and SDIO 3.0 device controller. A coupler and an RF BPF are the only external components required to complete a wireless system.
