Short Course: Radios for IoT

At the heart of the IoE network are the radios that enable a reliable and secure connection between the objects. An IoE radio must, however, satisfy very exacting specifications. Low cost, very low power consumption, and small physical size are among the critical requirements to enable a reliable and efficient IoE system. In this part of the course we offer architectural and circuit-level considerations of both receivers and transmitters for IoE applications. An overview of IoE radio requirements along with system-level analysis of suitable architectures is offered. Key radio circuits are presented, followed by several case studies and a detailed discussion of their pros and cons.
