Abstract :
There is a low power wireless transceiver system for healthcare monitoring applications in wireless sensor network (WSN). Technical advancements in micro-sensors, micro electromechanical system (MEMS) devices, low-power electronics, and radio frequency (RF) circuits and systems have enabled both design and development of such highly integrated system. In this paper, we present a wireless transceiver for wireless sensor network system, which is considering the link budget for low power design. This hierarchical architecture will make it possible to reconfigurable map application to the WSN system. The accurate pipeline control will advance the performance efficiently, and the adaptive low-power system design will reduce lots of power consumptions. In order to confirm the system, the temperature is regard as the input signals for system performance measurement.
