Unleashing Energy Efficiency and High Linearity in IoT RFICs

This session showcases the latest advances in energy-efficient and high-linearity IoT RFIC design. The first paper presents a backscatter communication IC achieving high modulation order and strong sideband suppression. The session then features a next-generation 5G wake-up receiver leveraging multi-carrier OOK modulation for low-power and high-sensitivity IoT applications, followed by a harmonic-suppressing low-power receiver design. A novel scaling-friendly time-domain technique is introduced to enhance the linearity of an energy-efficient receiver. Finally, a fully integrated galvanic isolator achieves low power for asynchronous full-duplex communication.
