Session 9 overview: Low-power wireless: Wireless subcommittee

Low-power transceivers for short-range wireless communication are emerging in a wide range of frequencies and bandwidths. This session starts with a full SOC for near-field communication (NFC). It then covers two low-power ultrawideband radios. After that, five radios for ISM band operation at 433MHz, 900MHz and 2.4GHz are presented, each demonstrating different architecture and circuit choices to achieve the lowest possible power consumption without compromising bit rate and output power (TX) or sensitivity level (RX).
