2.4GHz ULP BAN Radio

2.4GHz ultra-lower-power proprietary Radio for Wireless Sensor Networks and MBAN Applications.

Macro Name	2.4GHz ULP BAN Radio
Type	Hard IP
Short Description(max 128 characters)	2.4GHz Ultra-lower-power proprietary Radio for Wireless Sensor Networks and MBAN Applications
Extra description (optional)	Imec offers a white-box IP license with support on a 2.4GHz proprietary ultra low power transceiver for short range radio applications, that operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band as well as in the 2.360 GHz to 2.4 GHz (MBAN) and the 2.4835 GHz to 2.5 GHz ECC band (active medical implants). Including the digital baseband, the TX outputs 0dBm peak power, and consumes 1.1mW in the PPM mode and 2.43mW with 50% OOK. At a PER of 10-2 the RX achieves a sensitivity of -74dBm for 1Mb/s data rate in the OOK mode, and -93dBm for 250kb/s in the PPM mode, while consuming 860μW including the digital baseband.
Market category	Consumer Electronics - Automotive - Industrial and medical
Primary Category	Analog & Mixed Signal IP:RF:Transceiver
Node / process	90nm CMOS
Foundry	TSMC
Maturity	Silicon proven on prototypes, hence only white-box license (no corner characterization performed for high volume production)
