“…At the same time, minimum power consumption together with high performance with respect to link-budget, data-rate, start-up and turn-around latencies as well as receiver linearity remain keyparameters. Since a couple of years, advances in the domain of low power, high performance transceivers have been published, with excellent results in terms of current consumption [4][5][6][7], sensitivity and transmitter efficiency [3,4,6,7], or integration complexity [1][2][3][4].…”

This paper presents an ultra-low power miniaturized single chip transceiver operating in the ISM band at 2.4GHz. Targeting low power and minimum die size, while excluding RF-options and minimizing the count of external components for low-cost, asks for appropriate architectural choices to obtain high performance. Fast PLL locking and immediate RX-TX turn-around minimize the consumption overhead at wake-up and turn-around. With a die size of only 1.95mm 2 in a 90nm standard digital CMOS technology, the receiver achieves a sensitivity of -94.5dBm (1Mbps, BER 10E-3) while consuming only 7.1mA and the transmitter consumes 9.2mA for 0dBm output power. The base-band is compliant with the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, the Bluetooth Smart standard (former Bluetooth low energy BLE) and can be configured for proprietary standards at 2.4GHz, with data-rates up to 3Mbps.Index Terms -Wireless communication, IEEE 802.15.4, Bluetooth smart, BLE, low power CMOS transceiver.

“…7 displays a clear eye diagram with a low peak-to-peak jitter while the receiver demodulates a received 2.4 GHz GFSK signal at a data rate of 1 Mb/s and an input power of 70 dBm. Table I compares the sensitivity and power consumption performance of this work with that of previous ILO-or PLL-based designs for 2.4 GHz GFSK receivers [4], [9], [10]. Obviously, the proposed receiver outperforms the others in reducing power consumption while providing comparable sensitivity.…”

This letter presents a novel frequency-shift keying (FSK) receiver using an oscillator-based injection-locked frequency divider (ILFD), thereby achieving high sensitivity, low dc-offset, and low power consumption. The proposed receiver comprises a low-noise amplifier, a divide-by-2 ring-oscillator-based ILFD, and a subharmonic mixer. Moreover, the proposed receiver is fabricated using 0.18 CMOS process and consumes 1.1 mW. Measurement results demonstrate that the proposed receiver has a sensitivity of 83 dBm at bit error rate with 1 Mb/s data rate in receiving a 2.4 GHz Gaussian FSK signal.

“…Theoretically FSK transmitters should be able to consume less power than phase modulation transmitters, since a non-linear (class C or D) PA could be used for constant envelope modulations such as GFSK. Trade-offs need to be made between low energy consumption [26], or increased bit rates such as [25] and [27]. Some reported low-power receivers and transmitters only implement frequency modulation.…”

Abstract. The IoT domain is characterized by many applications that require lowbandwidth communications over a long range, at a low cost and at low power. LPWANs (Low Power Wide Area Networks) fulfill these requirements by using sub-GHz radio frequencies (typically 433 or 868 MHz) with typical transmission ranges in the order of 1 up to 50 kilometers. As a result, a single base station can cover large areas and can support high numbers of connected devices (> 1000 per base station). Notorious initiatives in this domain are LoRa, Sigfox and the upcoming IEEE 802.11ah (or "HaLow") standard. Although these new technologies have the potential to significantly impact many IoT deployments, the current market is very fragmented and many challenges exists related to deployment, scalability, management and coexistence aspects, making adoption of these technologies difficult for many companies. To remedy this, this paper proposes a conceptual framework to improve the performance of LPWAN networks through in-network optimization, cross-technology coexistence and cooperation and virtualization of management functions. In addition, the paper gives an overview of state of the art solutions and identifies open challenges for each of these aspects.
