Abstract: An ultra-low-power receiver includes a low-noise amplifier configured to receive an input analog signal and generate an amplified signal and a mixer electrically coupled to the low-noise amplifier. The mixer is configured to convert said amplified signal into an intermediate frequency signal. A progressively reduced intermediate frequency filter is configured to process the intermediate frequency signal from the mixer in discrete time.

Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a first semiconductor device, a second semiconductor device vertically positioned above the first semiconductor device, and a ground shielded transmission path. The ground shielded transmission path couples the first semiconductor device to the second semiconductor device. The ground shielded transmission path includes a first signal path extending longitudinally between a first end and a second end. The first signal path includes a conductive material. A first insulating layer is disposed over the signal path longitudinally between the first end and the second end. The first insulating layer includes an electrically insulating material. A ground shielding layer is disposed over the insulating material longitudinally between the first end and the second end of the signal path. The ground shielding layer includes a conductive material coupled to ground. The ground shielding layer drives radiation signals received therein to ground to prevent induced noise in the first signal path.
