Electronics of the future: self-powering wireless circuit design

该项目的目的是为使用硅以外的技术进行超低功耗无线电路设计奠定基础。硅晶体管的尺寸已经达到了极限，对于低功耗无线电路的设计来说，它的效益微乎其微。该项目旨在通过开发无线应用的节能技术来解决这些限制。该项目的预期成果将是一种自供电、高数据速率的接收器，这将是第五代无线系统的关键。这可以用于一系列创新的无线应用，例如医疗保健和环境监测。

The aim of this project is to build a foundation for ultra-low-power wireless circuit design using technologies other than silicon. Scaling of transistors in silicon has been pushed to its limit and is of marginal benefit for low-power wireless circuit design. This project aims to address these limits by developing energy-efficient technology for wireless applications. The intended outcome of this project will be a self-powered, high data rate receiver that will be critical in 5th-generation wireless systems. This could be used for a range of innovative wireless applications, for example in health care and environmental monitoring.
