Ultra-Low Power Transmitter Test Results.

摘要

There is a growing need in the armed forces for small, low-profile, electronic devices that can easily be concealed and/or worn in clothing. These tiny devices can be worn by warfighters to monitor their health status as well as their location and any other sensor data that is desired. The data can be sent over a wireless link to a mobile device. Conventional transmitter have high power consumption for this application. In this reprot, we test two versions of ultra-low power binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) transmitters, which were designed and fabricated in an IBM 65-nm process. These transmitters employ injection-locking frequency multiplication for near-field (~ 2-m) communication. The power consumption of the proposed transmitters ranges from 90 to 125 W with the target data rate of 120 kbps.
