12. Concluding Remarks
This is the 5th workshop organized by the 23rd URSI-C in Japan. Recently, The IoT or IoE has attracted considerable attention, low-power wireless systems are researched for the IoT and IoE. This workshop focused on the design techniques for low-power and high-performance wireless systems.
The first presentation concerns performance improvements of LC-resonators for VCOs by Prof. Ito. Design optimization of variable capacitors and striped inductors are introduced. The second presentation concerns BMI and low-power wireless systems for BMI by Prof. Akita. Flexible devices for BMI application are also introduced. The final presentation concerns ultra low-power transceiver for medical applications by Dr. Masui. A wireless SoC is fabricated using 40-nm CMOS technology, its power consumptions of the receiving and transmitting modes are 3.5mW and 3.0mW, respectively.
In the night session, low-power design techniques for Bluetooth SMART SoCs are presented by Dr. Fujimoto. Many frank discussions are deepened including future prospects of Japanese semiconductor industry and research.
The topics presented here were impressive in URSI community, and gave us many inspirations and new insights.
