Over the past two decades we have witnessed theincreasing popularity of the Internet of Things. The vision of billions ofconnected objects, able to interact with their environment, is the key driverdirecting the development of future communication devices. Today, powerconsumption as well as the cost and size of radios remain some of the keyobstacles towards fulfilling this vision. Ultra-Low Power FM-UWB Transceivers for IoT presents the latest developments in the field of low power wirelesscommunication. It promotes the FM-UWB modulation scheme as a candidate forshort range communication in different IoT scenarios. The FM-UWB has thepotential to provide exactly what is missing today. This spread spectrumtechnique enables significant reduction in transceiver complexity, making itsmaller, cheaper and more energy efficient than most alternative options.The book provides an overview of bothcircuit-level and architectural techniques used in low power radio design, witha comprehensive study of state-of-the-art examples. It summarizes keytheoretical aspects of FM-UWB with a glimpse at potential future researchdirections. Finally, it gives an insight into a full FM-UWB transceiver design, from system level specifications down to transistor level design, demonstratingthe modern power reduction circuit techniques. Ultra-Low Power FM-UWB Transceivers for IoT is a perfect text and reference for engineers working in RF IC design and wireless communication, as well as academic staff and graduate students engaged in low power communication systems research.
