Please see the CC2420 datasheet and the Tmote Sky datasheet. Both indicate that, yes, power consumption is lower during transmission.

Hi All, I was just wondering if the tmote moves from sleep mode to calling GenericComm.start() quite a bit of extra power is consumed (about a 20mA jump) and remains being consumed until it is stopped again even if nothing else is happening. I was just wondering what is the major cause of this power consumption? Also it would appear that when a transmission is taking place, whatever was consuming this power is interrupted and a different *lower* power flucuation occurs. Can anyone explain why the power consumption is lower when transmitting than when not? Thanks.
