Über dieses Buch

This book provides readers with a state-of-the-art description of techniques to be used for ultra-low-power (ULP) and ultra-low-cost (ULC), short-range wireless receivers. Readers will learn what is required to deploy these receivers in short-range wireless sensor networks, which are proliferating widely to serve the internet of things (IoT) for “smart cities.” The authors address key challenges involved with the technology and the typical tradeoffs between ULP and ULC. Three design examples with advanced circuit techniques are described in order to address these trade-offs, which special focus on cost minimization. These three techniques enable respectively, cascading of radio frequency (RF) and baseband (BB) circuits under an ultra-low-voltage (ULV) supply, cascading of RF and BB circuits in current domain for current reuse and a novel function-reuse receiver architecture, suitable for ULV and multi-band ULP applications such as the sub-GHz ZigBee.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
The immense scope of Internet of Things (IoT) potentiates huge market opportunities for short-range wireless connectivity. To achieve this, it is highly desirable to use ultra-low-power (ULP) and ultra-low-cost (ULC) short-range radios.

Chapter 2. Design and Implementation of Ultra-Low-Power ZigBee/WPAN Receiver
Abstract
In recent years, the proliferation of short-range wireless applications for Internet of Things and personal healthcare calls for ultra-low power and cost CMOS radios [1]. Ultra-low voltage (ULV) designs have been one of the key directions to approach a better power efficiency [25]

Chapter 3. A 2.4-GHz ZigBee Receiver Exploiting an RF-to-BB-Current-Reuse Blixer + Hybrid Filter Topology in 65-nm CMOS
Abstract
Ultra-low-power (ULP) radios have essentially underpinned the development of short-range wireless technologies [1] such as personal/body-area networks and Internet of Things.
Zhicheng Lin, Pui-In Mak (Elvis), Rui Paulo Martins
Chapter 4. Analysis and Modeling of a Gain-Boosted N-Path Switched-Capacitor Bandpass Filter
Abstract
The demand of highly-integrated multi-band transceivers has driven the development of blocker-tolerant software-defined radios that can avoid the cost (and loss) of the baluns and SAW filters [13].
Zhicheng Lin, Pui-In Mak (Elvis), Rui Paulo Martins
Chapter 5. A Sub-GHz Multi-ISM-Band ZigBee Receiver Using Function-Reuse and Gain-Boosted N-Path Techniques for IoT Applications
Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) represents a competitive and large market for short-range ultra-low-power (ULP) wireless connectivity [1, 2]. According to [3], by 2020 the IoT market will be close to hundreds of billion dollars (annually ~16 billions). To bring down the hardware cost of such massive inter-connections, sub-GHz ULP wireless products compliant with the existing wireless standard such as the IEEE 802.15.4c/d (ZigBee) will be of great demand, especially for those that can cover all regional ISM bands [e.g., China (433 MHz), Europe (860 MHz), North America (915 MHz) and Japan (960 MHz)]. Together with the obvious goals of small chip area, minimum external components and ultra-low-voltage (ULV) supply (for possible energy harvesting), the design of such a receiver poses significant challenges.

Chapter 6. Conclusion
Abstract
In Chap. 1, the motivations of ULP and ULC short-range radios have been studied, followed by the general definition of short-range wireless communications.
