Objective
The research fellows in the TRANDSSAT project look for innovations in the enabling electronics to substantially reduce the power consumption of a portable transceiver to the level where they can have lifetime operation from a single battery, which results in a microwatt transceiver. Two fellows will focus on the design of the RF front end and two others on the AD/DA converters. In the integration phase close collaboration between all fellows aims at the design of the microwatt transceiver with reduced power consumption by an order of magnitude, compared to current state-of-the-art. The power reduction is of utmost importance for the development of and brings several design issues. Innovative system design approaches on silicon are required to solve the issue of disproportional power dissipation while increasing the computing power.
