An Ultra-low power Direct Frequency Demodulator for Bluetooth Smart applications.

This dissertation presents an ultra-low power (ULP) phase-domain RX architecture for the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) applications. By 2020, there will be up to 10 to 100 billion wireless sensor devices connected to internet-of-things (IoT)[1]. With the increasing demand on prolonging the battery lifetime, the power consumption of the RF...
