Abstract

This paper presents a fully integrated multi-rate and multi-regional frequency shift keying (MR-FSK) system-on-chip (SoC) in 180-nm CMOS technology compliant with IEEE 802.15.4g standard for smart utility network (SUN). This SoC integrates all blocks including 800/900 MHz RF/Analog transceiver, digital modem, medium access controller (MAC) and security functions. The total SoC die area is 4.8 mm x 3.5 mm. The transceiver power consumption is 57 mW in receiving mode and 41 mW - 79 mW in transmitting mode, while the digital part consumes 19.5 mW. The implemented SoC exceeds the sensitivity requirements of IEEE 802.15.4g standard and is suitable for long-range and low-duty cycled SUN applications, such as advanced metering infrastructure (AMI).
