Energy-efficient receiver design for the internet of everything
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The nascent Internet of Everything (IoE) will likely be dominated by highly asymmetrical links with bursty communication, shifting the focus away from power consumption and to an obsession with low energy per bit or per packet. This thesis focuses on the challenges involved in designing an energy-efficient receiver for the IoE and the choice of the superregenerative architecture to meet these challenges. We will show that the superregenerative receiver can be analyzed as a linear time variant system and exploit insights into design tradeoffs obtained from such an analysis. We will discuss the design of a 28 GHz superregenerative receiver with symbol-by-symbol automatic gain control fabricated in 65 nm CMOS technology. The synthesizer-free receiver enables fast startup to reduce energy by close to an order of magnitude for short packets and achieves a steady-state energy consumption of 125 pJ/bit for a data rate of 40 Mb/s. The peak power dissipation of 5 mW and active area of 0.36 mm2 make it a particularly attractive receiver for the IoE.
