Session 13 overview: Energy-efficient RF systems: RF & wireless subcommittees

There is an increasing demand for energy efficient and very small wireless solutions for different applications such as IoT, wearable and wireless sensors. The papers presented in this session focus on various circuit and architecture techniques to demonstrate highly integrated low-power RF systems. Four papers present BLE RF system solutions. The other four papers demonstrate very-low-power techniques like receiver-based FLL, wake-up radio, extreme low duty-cycle regimes and RF energy harvesting.
