Low-power 27 MHz sensor
Researchers with the University of Washington and Georgia Tech have designed small ultra-low-power 27 MHz sensor nodes that transmit data with a receiver by coupling over the powerline. The sensor nodes consume lower than 1 mW when transmitting (65 μW gets consumed in a custom CMOS transmitter). The study claim this is the lowest power...
