Abstract :
Low power consumption is the most important concern for integrated wireless devices. This paper illustrates low-power design principles in the CMOS context. They entail seeking strategic combinations of high-quality off-chip passives with RF integrated circuits and searching for better architectures in wireless receivers to low power. The principles are illustrated with a fully integrated 2.2-mW 1.2-V front end for 900-MHz receiver, fabricated in 0.35-μm CMOS
