October 20 EEC 290 Lecture 4

Internet of Things (IoT) is gaining currency as a revolutionary next generation technological platform for high speed wireless, wireline, and smart sensor networks. The ever-increasing size of this global network has led to the exponential growth of the data traffic (> 1.4× per year) in recent years, requiring miniaturized low power transceivers with high data throughput not feasible with conventional radio frequency circuit design techniques. In addition to high speed data communication, reliable low power wireless connectivity is needed to link billions of intelligent objects at a low cost within the global distributed network. To overcome these challenges, a revolution/paradigm shift in circuit design is needed. This talk focuses on the development of a true IoT-compatible network consisting of high speed data transceivers, smart sensors, and low power cognitive radios. I will present ideas on efficient high speed data communication as well as ultra-low power radios whose application help overcome obstacles in creating a low cost universal platform to integrate sensors with low power RF circuits and high performance communication transceivers. Finally, I will discuss the emerging trend to add AI functionality to various objects within the smart IoT network.
