Energy wasted during the wake-up of radios significantly degrades the efficiency of duty-cycled Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The major contributor to this energy wastage is the PLL-based frequency synthesizer which has a long wakeup time. Furthermore, the rate of duty cycling in these radios is also constrained by the PLL which imposes an upper limit on the maximum data rate that can be achieved...
A low power 2.4-GHz receiver exploiting the intrinsic high quality factor (Q) of Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) resonators is presented. A novel way of performing simple integer division of the BAW digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) signal to address multi-channels and thus making the receiver become PLL-free is proposed in this paper. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first one to report...
A sub-sampling RF front end which exploits the intrinsically high quality factor of MEMS devices for performing channel filtering directly at RF is proposed in this work. This narrow band filtering at RF also acts as a good anti-aliasing filter to support down-conversion by sub-sampling. The RF front end employs current reuse for amplification, mixing and filtering. A low phase noise BAW based DCO...
