Millimeter-Scale Computing Platform for Next Generation of Internet of Things

The internet of things has enabled the communication of "smart" physical objects and improved the quality of machine service to humans. These achievements are based on the synergy of processing information collected by different sources. This trend will continue with the next class of computing platforms enabled by millimeter-scale sensors, diversifying the signal sources including biomedical, climate and surveillance targets. The key challenge of such systems is to achieve small die size, ultra-low power consumption, sufficient communication distance with the limited antenna size and accurate system duty-cycling.
