Power consumption is a critical issue in many wireless sensor network scenarios where network life expectancy is measured in months or years. Communication protocols typically rely on duty-cycle mechanisms to reduce the power usage at the cost of decreased network responsiveness and increased communication latency. A low-power radio-triggered device can be used to continuously monitor the channel and activate the node for incoming communications, allowing purely asynchronous operations. To be effective, the power consumption of this wake-up receiver must be on the order of tens of microwatts since this device is always active. This paper presents the ongoing efforts to design such a low-power receiver. Initial results indicate an average power consumption below 20 uW.
