A 915 MHz 175 Receiver Using Transmitted-Reference and Shifted Limiters for 50 dB In-Band Interference Tolerance
IEEE journal of solid-state circuits, 2016•ieeexplore.ieee.org
Improving interference robustness in ultralow power (ULP) receivers (RXs) is a big
challenge due to their low power budget. This paper presents an envelope detector based
915 MHz 10 kb/s ULP RX, which is fabricated in 65 nm CMOS process for wireless sensor
networks and Internet of Things. Two power-efficient techniques, transmitted-reference and
shifted limiter, are proposed to improve the interference robustness. The RX sensitivity is
between− 61 and− 76 dBm. The maximum in-band signal-to-interference ratio at±1 MHz …

Improving interference robustness in ultralow power (ULP) receivers (RXs) is a big challenge due to their low power budget. This paper presents an envelope detector based 915 MHz 10 kb/s ULP RX, which is fabricated in 65 nm CMOS process for wireless sensor networks and Internet of Things. Two power-efficient techniques, transmitted-reference and shifted limiter, are proposed to improve the interference robustness. The RX sensitivity is between −61 and −76 dBm. The maximum in-band signal-to-interference ratio at ±1 MHz offset is up to −50 dB while just consuming 175 power from a 1 V supply.
