“…This creates motivation to operate outside the popular narrow‐band channels such as 940 and 2400 MHz [2]. Work to specifically improve low power wireless body area networks (WBANs) is also motivated by a rapidly increasing proportion of the global population that suffers from chronic diseases [3–5]. With the internet of things becoming increasingly popular, new technologies to meet demand in high traffic ad‐hoc networks are also required [6, 7].…”

This study introduces a frequency modulated ultra-wideband (FM-UWB) receiver optimised for low power and fast start-up. The receiver consists of a front end amplifier converting a frequency modulated signal to an amplitude modulated signal which is applied to an envelope detector. The receiver front end is for 500 MHz channels centred at 3450 and 3950 MHz. The amplifier uses passive gain and four cascaded gain stages to achieve high radio-frequency gain without the need for superregeneration. By simplifying the architecture this way, the front end has a 5 μs wake-up time to enable efficient duty-cycling. The measured front end receives a signal at −68 dBm while consuming 600 μW of power (excluding a test buffer) from a 1 V supply. Fabrication was done using the IBM 130-nm CMOS technology on a 1 mm × 1 mm loose die.

“…Thermoelectric harvesting converts differences in temperature to electric power and can be applied to a human body. Harvesting energy from human body temperature while restricted to only a few cm 2 struggles to supply more than a few tens of μW . Table examines the power consumption of a low power transceiver (2 mW total) when duty cycled with a 2 μW wake‐up circuit.…”

AbstractThis article presents a microwave wake-up receiver for biotelemetry applications. The circuit is designed using 130 nm CMOS technology and it consists of a passive amplification front end filter, envelope detector and baseband frequency amplifier with variable feedback filtering. The receiver is designed to operate at 7.6 GHz and measured results show that it has a sensitivity of 240 dBm while drawing just 3 lA from a 0.5 V supply. The presented work has the smallest known area and exhibits a competitive tradeoff between DC power, sensitivity, and bit rate.
