Abstract
Provided is a low-power wake-up receiver that is sensitive to electric waves, by which power consumed by a radio frequency (RF) transceiver of a sensor node in a ubiquitous sensor network (USN) is minimized. A wake-up receiver waking up a main transceiver includes a duty cycle signal generation unit controlling a duty cycle of a duty cycle signal; a burst signal detection unit receiving an input signal including a burst signal and a data signal based on the duty cycle signal, amplifying the input signal, and, if the amplified input signal is the burst signal, outputting a control signal; and a data signal detection unit re-amplifying the amplified input signal based on the control signal, and, if the re-amplified input signal is the data signal, outputting a wake-up signal. Power supplied to the duty cycle signal generation unit is interrupted based on the control signal and power is re-supplied to the duty cycle signal generation unit based on the wake-up signal.
