A Multiband Ultralow-Power Transceiver With Two-Step Wake-Up Reception

A Multiband Ultralow-Power Transceiver With Two-Step Wake-Up Reception 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a multiband fully integrated ultralow-power (ULP) transceiver with a two-step wake-up receiver (WuRX) and switched-capacitor (SC)-based high-efficiency transmitter. Operating from 200 MHz to 1 GHz, the transceiver covers most IoT applications on a single chip. By employing a novel two-step wake-up scheme with a rotating correlator, the proposed …

A 0.7-V Multiclass Digital Doherty Power Amplifier for BLE Applications With 41% Peak DE in 22-nm CMOS

A 0.7-V Multiclass Digital Doherty Power Amplifier for BLE Applications With 41% Peak DE in 22-nm CMOS 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a multiclass, asymmetric digital Doherty power amplifier (DDPA) for Bluetooth low energy (BLE) applications, that achieves high efficiency at full-scale as well as at 8.6-dB back-off using a single 0.7-V supply voltage. The proposed DDPA is made of two power-combined switched-capacitor power amplifiers (SCPAs) and uses an …
