A 2.4GHz, −102dBm-sensitivity, 25kb/s, 0.466mW interference resistant BFSK multi-channel sliding-IF ULP receiver

This paper presents an ultra-low power, high-sensitivity, and interference-resistant receiver suitable for IoT applications. By the combination of sliding-IF based low-power down-conversion and relative-power-detection based FSK demodulation, the proposed receiver achieves multi-channel operation and minimizes power consumption. Cascaded N-path filter and 4th-order hybrid-PPF are adopted to improve the sensitivity and carrier-to-interference ratio. Implemented in a 65nm CMOS, the receiver achieves −102dBm sensitivity at 0.1% BER while consuming 466μW from a 0.6V supply.
