DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nDiscrete-time (DT) receiver (RX) architectures off
 er low-power implementation\, high configurability\, and easy portability 
 to ever finer CMOS nodes. Such features are highly desirable in IoT applic
 ations. To fully explore their advantages\, a deep understanding of the si
 gnal processing including aliasing impairments is critical. However\, such
  a discussion has not been sufficiently explored in literature. In this ta
 lk\, we start with the basics of passive DT filters\, which are at the cor
 e of a DT-RX. Next\, a high-intermediate-frequency (IF) architecture is ch
 osen to demonstrate how aliasing is an intrinsic part of a DT-RX and how i
 t affects key system design aspects. Further on\, we discuss the applicati
 on of decimation techniques and the stringent trade-offs involved.\n\nShor
