DefenceTalkState-of-the-art military sensors today rely on “active electronics” to detect vibration, light, sound or other signals. That means they constantly consume power, with much of that power and time spent processing what often turns out to be irrelevant data. This power consumption limits sensors’ useful lifetimes to a few weeks or months when operating from […]https://www.defencetalk.com/asleep-yet-aware-electronics-could-revolutionize-remote-wireless-sensors-63855/
