Low-power Radio Design for the IoT

This lecture covers the design of low-power radio systems for the Internet of Things, focusing on oscillators and their critical parameters. It explains the Barkhausen criteria, different types of oscillators, and the analysis of the 3-points oscillator. The lecture also delves into the impact of loss in output conductance, impedance locus, and harmonic components in drain current. It concludes with discussions on the nonlinear analysis of the Pierce oscillator, transconductance for the fundamental component, and the bias current shift from weak to strong inversion.
