A fully integrated super-regenerative wake-up receiver for wireless body area network applications is presented. The super-regeneration receiver is designed to receive OOK-modulated data from the base station. A low power waveform generator is adopted both to provide a quench signal for VCO and to provide a clock signal for the digital module. The receiver is manufactured in 0.18 μm CMOS process and the active area is 0.67 mm2.It achieves a sensitivity of -80 d Bm for 10-3BER with a data rate of 200 kbps. The power consumption of the super-regenerative wake-up receiver is about 2.16 m W.
