Ultra-low-power Devices, and Application of New Materials to mm-wave Antennas and Circuits
Massimo Macucci · River Publishers eBooks · 2022
Power dissipation represents one of the most relevant issues in the development of new electronic systems, both because it has effectively halted the increase in clock frequency in processors and because it represents the main limitation for the implementation of autonomous IoT devices, such as smart dust. It is indeed relatively easy to miniaturize all the electronics needed, e.g., for a sensor, but it is not as easy to scale down in size a battery capable of keeping the device working for months or years.
