Dynamic Channel Calibration on a Crystal-Free Mote-on-a-Chip
The single chip integration of a wireless sensor node would allow for cheap, low-power, dust-size devices. The key to realizing this vision is to eliminate bulky off-chip frequency references such as crystal oscillators or resonators, and their ...
