This workshop will address design and development of ultra-low power transceiver systems. The workshop will focus on several key low power systems and will examine the tradeoffs among these transceiver: Wirenet, ZIGBEE, and Ultra-Wide Band Transceivers. The market of low power, low data rate RF sensors and RF networks is growing fast. These networks require ultra low power transceivers and the battery life is critical in these systems. The workshop will address design methodologies and advanced technologies dedicated to the design of low power transceivers, based on practical examples, for the attendees to be able to develop their own products at the end.
