Abstract
For power-limited wireless sensor networks, energy efficiency is a critical concern. Receiving packages is proven to be one of the most power-consuming tasks in a WSN. To address this problem, the asynchronous communication is based on wake-up receivers. The proposed receiver circuit can detect on-off keying pulses inside the 868 MHz band with a sensitivity of \({-60}\) dBm. The power consumption of the circuit is only 3.6 \(\upmu {W}\). The circuit design is kept simple, only requiring commercial off-the-shelf components like general-purpose operational amplifiers and comparators.
