Ultra-Low Power Receivers for IoT Applications: A Review

Efficient wireless connectivity is an important requirement for IoT applications and has attracted a lot of research interest recently. The receivers designed for such applications need to be low power while still supporting sufficient communication range and co-existing with other receivers that share the same frequency band. In addition, supporting adopted communication standards is key for ubiquitous integration with the existing infrastructure. This paper presents a review of the recent design trends and techniques in ultra-low power receivers for IoT applications.
