Ultra-low-power Wake-Up Radio receivers design
Energy efficiency is a fundamental metric for all battery-powered devices, such as wireless sensor and actuator network nodes, whose most power-hungry subsystem is usually the RF transceiver. A wake-up receiver is an always-on ultra-low-power receiver which constantly monitors the channel and wakes the node up at the reception of a communication request in order to overcome the trade-off between power consumption and node latency. The research activity covers the design of ultra-low-power analog and digital integrated circuits in STMicroelectronics 90-nm BCD and CMOS technologies and is carried out in collaboration with Professors
Eleonora Franchi Scarselli and
Antonio Gnudi and researchers
Alessia Maria Elgani and
Luca Perilli.
