RF Circuits for a Single-chip Low-power-consumption Wireless Transceiver

摘要

We have developed low-power RF circuits operating at extremely low voltages down to 0.5V. The supply voltage was reduced by using on-chip LC resonators. A novel buffer circuit made of undoped- channel MOSFETs is also used. RF front-end circuits fabricated in CMOS/SIMOX had the total power dissipation as low as 9mW.
