  • Highly-Integrated Low-Power RF Receivers for Distributed Sensing and IoT Devices

    Creator:
    Bialek, Hayden
    Abstract:
    Low-power receivers (RX) with 100$\mu W$-scale power consumption can enable several power/energy-constrained IoT applications. However, achieving sensitivity, interferer tolerance and wide operating range with low power presents a challenge for existing architectures, particularly those constrained to highly integrated solutions without high-Q off-chip components. Existing solutions rely heavily on high quality...

  • CMOS Transducers and Programmable Interface Circuits for Resource-Efficient Sensing Applications

    Creator:
    Sengupta, Shaan
    Abstract:
    Modern sensors are complex systems comprising multiple sub-systems such as transducers, analog and mixed-signal interface circuits, digital processing circuits, and packaging. Over the last few decades, innovations in these sub-systems combined with their increased integration in complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) processes have led to the rapid growth in sensors for...

  • Power Efficient Architectures for Low Noise Switched-Capacitor Filters and High Accuracy Analog-to-Digital Converters

    Creator:
    Payandehnia, Pedram
    Abstract:
    Filters and data converters are key analog-and-mixed-signal (AMS) building blocks in communication systems, such as software-defined radios and internet-of-things. In this dissertation, novel switched-capacitor filter and analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit configurations have been explored which are power efficient and are digital scaling friendly. First, a novel switched-capacitor low-pass filter architecture...

  • Wirelessly Powered cm-Scale Sensor for Small Insect Localization Application

    Creator:
    Kang, Jian
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications leads to an increasing focus on the design and optimization of sensor nodes. Battery lifetime and associated costs of battery replacement often limits the long term operation and viability of sensor nodes. RF wireless energy harvesting on the other hand can be appealing since...

  • Design techniques for low-power electrical and optical serial link receivers

    Creator:
    Bai, Rui
    Abstract:
    As computation power continues to grow, the demand for data transfer bandwidth is also rising. This is reflected in the increasing data-rate of high-speed links. However, the increase in data-rate is sustainable only if the I/O energy efficiency improves as well. This dissertation explores several techniques to enable high-speed links...
