Abstract

This chapter studies trends and expectations in monolithic wireless sensor system design with respect to applications, technology evolution, and system design. Problems and opportunities are analyzed. In later chapters of this book, the ultra-low-power design concept is introduced that takes advantages of the expected opportunities in order to solve the anticipated problems.
