Design-Space Exploration of Integrated Frequency Synthesis Architecture for Wake-Up Radio in Low-Power Wi-Fi Applications
摘要
This paper presents the design-space exploration of an integrated solution for frequency synthesis of 802.11ba compliant wake-up radio receivers in low-power and low-area Wi-Fi applications. Different models and architectures of frequency synthesizers are proposed. Thanks to these models, a study in terms of both stability and noise is conducted, and a discussion in terms of area occupation and power consumption is presented. The analysis is realized by creating a system model in the Advanced Design System simulation environment. In this way the comparison of different architectures and the evaluation of the effects of system parameters variation are carried out, with a faster design time vs transistor-level simulations and a higher level of details vs high level tools like MATLAB/Simulink.
