A Sampling Method for the Reduction of Power Consumption in Battery Operated UHF Receivers

Abstract Details

2008, Master of Science, University of Akron, Electrical Engineering.
The use of UHF low power wireless links is prevalent in a variety of battery operated devices like remote entry systems and RFID devices used in industrial and consumer applications. Most current applications of wireless remote control assume that the transmitter only operates when necessary, so power consumption is not an issue. But the receivers must be on at all times ready to receive a transmission. Power reduction at the receiver is extremely important, otherwise it would drain the battery very quickly. Much effort has been invested in reducing the power consumption at the receiver’s end. Commercially available receivers consume few mA in continuous operation. Techniques like duty cycling and polling have been devised to reduce the power consumption further. This thesis proposes a simple yet effective technique to wake up the receiver by sampling its output for very short intervals of time. The power reduction achieved using this method is very high compared to currently available techniques.
