This paper presents a 116nW wake-up radio complete with crystal reference, interference compensation, and baseband processing, such that a selectable 31-bit code is required to toggle a wake-up signal. The front-end operates over a broad frequency range, tuned by an off-chip band-select filter and matching network, and is demonstrated in the 402–405MHz MICS band and the 915MHz and 2.4GHz ISM bands with sensitivities of −45.5dBm, −43.4dBm, and −43.2dBm, respectively. Additionally, the baseband processor implements automatic threshold feedback to detect the presence of interferers and dynamically adjust the receiver's sensitivity, mitigating the jamming problem inherent to previous energy-detection wake-up radios. The wake-up radio has a raw OOK chip-rate of 12.5kbps, an active area of 0.35mm2 and operates using a 1.2V supply for the crystal reference and RF demodulation, and a 0.5V supply for subthreshold baseband processing.
