Overview There is an increasing demand for low-cost nodes that consume very little power for Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) applications. Much of the difficulty in hardware design for such devices comes from early design decisions made at the system level, and is thus highly dependent on the applications for which the system is being designed. For example, Bluetooth aims to remove wires for both voice and data applications that require data rates less than 1Mbps over distances less than 10m. The system specification, called 'Zero-G', supports the same data rates over similar distances as Bluetooth, except that it makes some system-level trade-offs to ease the circuit design to reduce cost and power.
