Abstract :
This paper presents an overview of design methodologies for the ultra-low power (ULP) receivers for the wireless sensor network (WSN) applications. The advantages and limitations of the most widely used ULP receiver architectures, tuned-RF, super-regenerative, uncertain-IF, and low-IF, are reviewed. The guidelines for the ULP RF circuit designs are also described.
