本論文提出一種應用於2.4 GHz ISM頻段之高能量效率，高整合度，低功耗開關位移鍵收發機。本論文所提出的接收機包含了匹配網路、低雜訊放大器、單端轉雙端封包檢測器、位準轉移器、基頻放大器與遲滯比較器。2.45 GHz之射頻訊號經由匹配網路進入，經由低雜訊放大器放大射頻訊號，被封包檢測器解調成基頻訊號，接著透過基頻放大器進行解調訊號之放大，最後比較器將基頻訊號拉開至1或0。另外，發射機包含了偏壓刺激電路、電流再利用自混頻壓控振盪器與四倍轉導值功率放大器。偏壓刺激電路透過數位邏輯閘將數位基頻訊號重新定義使得下級之壓控振盪器加速振盪，最後經由功率放大器將射頻調變訊號送至天線端。以上電路所使用到的數個本論文所提出的技術可以改善能量效率與功率效率。因此，本論文所提出的接收機在2.45 GHz頻率短距離傳輸中可以達到靈敏度-46 dBm和資料速率2 Mbps。另外發射機可在資料傳輸為20 Mbps時達到輸出能量-17 dBm。
本論文所提出之收發機使用標準TSMC 0.18μm 1P6M製程，量測方法則是將裸晶透過打鎊線封裝於PCB板子上。由量測結果可得知，在操作電壓為1.2伏特之下，接收機與發射機分別消耗160微瓦與0.6毫瓦。除此之外，接收機80 pJ/bit的能量效率與發射機9的功能值在跟現今最新進的收發機比較下是較好的。

This thesis presents a high energy efficiency, high-integrated, and low-power on-off keying transceiver for a 2.4 GHz industrial scientific medical band. The proposed receiver includes an input matching network, a low-noise amplifier, a novel single-to-differential envelope detector, a level shifter, cascaded baseband amplifiers, and a hysteresis comparator. The transmitter includes a bias-stimulating circuit, a current-reused self-mixing voltage controlled oscillator, and a quadruple-transconductance power amplifier. Numerous proposed techniques implemented in the mentioned circuits ameliorate the energy efficiency and power efficiency. Therefore, the receiver for short-distanced propagation can achieve a sensitivity of−46 dBm with a carrier frequency of 2.45 GHz and a data rate of 2 Mbps. The transmitter achieves an output power of −17 dBm with a data rate of 20 Mbps.
The transceiver implemented in TSMC 0.18 um 1P6M CMOS technology. The measurement results reveals that the proposed transceiver consumes 160 uW and 0.6 mW in the receiver and transmitter, respectively, from a 1.2-V supply voltage. Moreover, the energy per bit of 80 pJ/bit in the receiver part and the figure of merit of 9 in the transmitter part are lower than those achieved with existing state-of-the-art transceivers.
