DESCRIPTION:Internet-of-Things (IoT) imposes severe requirements on ultra-l
 ow power consumption of radio frequency transceivers. Battery life is crit
 ical in these applications and can be extended by lowering supply voltage 
 to reduce power consumption. In the receiver part of the radio\, the analo
 g front-end section is the most power-hungry subsystem and has received a 
 lot of attention lately\, mainly from the analog continuous-time point of 
 view. Advances in discrete-time receiver designs\, however\, offer new alt
 ernatives with simpler and technology-scalable switched-capacitor circuits
  and easy calibration of intermediate frequency and band-pass selection ba
 sed on capacitor ratios\, which are less sensitive to process variations. 
 New passive charge-domain switched-capacitor filter topologies and accurat
 e control of sampling rates\, both of which benefit from technology scalin
 g and enable easier-to-design low-power solutions\, have been introduced. 
 Another important aspect of the proposed low-power solution is full integr
 ation of all the RF building blocks to reduce system costs. These new band
 -pass filters are highly selective and enable saw-less solutions for eithe
 r low-power or high-performance applications. The super-heterodyne receive
 r is the architecture of choice with less issues regarding flicker noise\,
  second-order linearity and time-varying DC offsets\, besides not requirin
 g the bulky external filters used in the past. This tutorial presents the 
 recently developed concepts in discrete-time receivers leading to an ultra
 -low-power state-of-the-art Bluetooth Low Energy receiver which was implem
 ented in low cost TSMC 28 nm bulk CMOS.\n\nSpeaker(s): Robert Bogdan Stasz
