Abstract

In this thesis, the development of energy-efficient, accurate smart temperature sensors for wireless temperature sensing applications has been investigated. It has been shown that the existing temperature sensors prior to the start of this research were ill suited for use in such applications, where energy efficiency and low cost are critical requirements. In the following, first the main findings of this research are discussed. The other applications of the developed techniques are then presented, followed by some proposals for the future improvements.
