Sensing, data processing, and communication are essential functions of a useful sensor node, whether used in industrial, health or sports monitoring applications. Long battery lifetimes are required for these sensors, and the small size requirements imply small energy storage/harvesting capability. This project aims to achieve energy self-sufficiency through system level optimizations including energy harvesting and processing circuits, sensor interfaces and ADCs, RF transmitters and wireless protocol design.
