Publication number: 20240154644Abstract: Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology exploits modulated coded impulses over a wide frequency spectrum with very low power over a short distance for digital data transmission. Such UWB systems through their receivers may operate in the presence of interfering signals and should provide for robust communications. Accordingly, an accurate and sharp filter that operates at low power is required and beneficially one that does not require a highly accurate power heavy clock. Further, many UWB applications require location and/or range finding of other elements and it would therefore be beneficial to provide a UWB based range finding and/or location capability removing the requirement to add additional device complexity and, typically significant, power consumption.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: FREDERIC NABKI, DOMINIC DESLANDES, MOHAMMAD TAHERZADEH-SANI, MICHIEL SOER, RABIA RASSIL

Publication number: 20240106478Abstract: Ultra-Wideband (UWB) wireless technology transmits digital data as modulated coded impulses over a very wide frequency spectrum with very low power over a short distance. Accordingly, the inventors have established UWB devices which accommodate and adapt to inaccuracies, errors, or issues within the implemented electronics, hardware, firmware, and software. Beneficially, UWB receivers may accommodate offsets in absolute frequency between their frequency source and the transmitter, accommodate drift arising from phase locked loop and/or from relative clock frequency offsets of the remote transmitter and local receiver. UWB devices may also employ modulation coding schemes offering increased efficiency with respect to power, data bits per pulse transmitted, and enabled operation at higher output power whilst complying with regulatory emission requirements.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: FREDERIC NABKI, DOMINIC DESLANDES, MICHIEL SOER, GABRIEL MORIN-LAPORTE, MOHAMMAD TAHERZADEH-SANI

Patent number: 11908554Abstract: Ultra-Wideband (UWB) wireless technology transmits digital data as modulated coded impulses over a very wide frequency spectrum with very low power over a short distance. To support extended operation, particularly with battery power sources, the inventors have established UWB devices which support wake-up from deep sleep modes when these devices exploit low frequency clock sources for ultra-low power consumption. Further, power consumption may be reduced by exploiting transistors or so-called compounded MOSFET structures whose effective gain and output resistance exceeds any single transistor irrespective of length or by employing biasless low power differential (exponential) transconductance stages within operational transconductance amplifiers in order to provide very high gain low power amplification stages. Further, the inventors have established voltage reference sources that consume very low current, a few nA, and ultra-low power low dropout regulators.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2020Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Inventors: Frederic Nabki, Dominic Deslandes, Michiel Soer, Gabriel Morin-Laporte, Mohammad Taherzadeh-Sani

Publication number: 20240048177Abstract: Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology exploits modulated coded impulses over a wide frequency spectrum with very low power over a short distance for digital data transmission. Today's leading edge modulated sinusoidal wave wireless communication standards and systems achieve power efficiencies of 50nJ/bit employing narrowband signaling schemes and traditional RF transceiver architectures. However, such designs severely limit the achievable energy efficiency, especially at lower data rates such as below 1 Mbps. Further, it is important that peak power consumption is supportable by common battery or energy harvesting technologies and long term power consumption neither leads to limited battery lifetimes or an inability for alternate energy sources to sustain them. Accordingly, it would be beneficial for next generation applications to exploit inventive transceiver structures and communication schemes in order to achieve the sub nJ per bit energy efficiencies required by next generation applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: FREDERIC NABKI, DOMINIC DESLANDES, MOHAMMAD TAHERZADEH-SANI, MICHIEL SOER

Publication number: 20220263251Abstract: Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology is a wireless technology for the transmission of large amounts of digital data as modulated coded impulses over a very wide frequency spectrum with very low power over a short distance.
