Millimeter Motes: Complete, Ultra-Small, Wireless Sensor Systems Integrated into a Single Silicon Chip
David B
Learn about ultra-miniaturization of wireless sensor systems enabled by integrating every electronic component into a single piece of standard CMOS silicon. These new chip-scale systems are only millimeters in size and require only a power source and an antenna to operate fully independently. This talk will primarily focus on strategies to eliminate the off-chip oscillator(s) typically required by RF systems-on-chip and the resultant ramifications on wireless communication, and will also discuss sensor integration and electrically-small antennas to make a complete chip-scale wireless system.
