Abstract

Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) is currently the most popular short-range wireless protocol for Internet of Things (IoT). One of the most challenging design requirements for BLE RF transceiver is to consume as low as possible power consumption, while fulfilling the PHY specifications. In this tutorial, the BLE design specifications will be briefly introduced. Then, several low-power transceiver architectures that are suitable for BLE will be discussed. Finally, an overview of recent state-of-the-art BLE transceivers will be provided.
