Abstract :
The evolving application space for sensor data communication demands wireless transceivers characterized by long-range, small form-factor devices. This paper explores strategies towards the goal of single-hop, long-distance wireless communication for sensor applications using monolithic CMOS transceivers. A regulator-less PA system for sensor communication is highlighted in the context of long-range communication.
