Wireless autonomous transducer solutions

In the not so distant future, say beyond 2010, researchers envisage ambient, intelligent electronics. These will consist of embedded, unobtrusive devices that will allow people to carry out activities, tasks, and rituals in an unhampered, natural way. The applications will be responsive, personalized, and embedded in the user's environment to be almost unnoticeable.

Imec's solutions will feature:

• Ultra-low power digital signal processing
• Ultra-low power wireless communication
• Energy harvesting
• Sensors and actuators
• System integration
• Flexible wireless communication
