Abstract The realization of wireless sensor networks (WSN) demands ultralow power wireless communication capability. Because the radio transceiver consumes power whenever it is active, it is more efficient to leave the receiver off and wake it up asynchronously only when needed. A dedicated wake-up receiver can continuously monitor the channel, listening for a wake-up signal from other nodes and activating the main receiver upon detection. This thesis aims to design a low power wake-up receiver targeting wireless sensor networks application. The main focusing is the design of low noise and low power architectures for the main building blocks of the wake-up receiver. The proposed wake-up receiver is designed and fabricated using CMOS technology. The measurement results show a good sensitivity performance (-59 dBm, -55 dBm, and - 49 dBm for 20 kbps, 100 kbps, and 200 kbps, respectively, and 57 GHz input frequency) that matched with the simulation results. |
