Thanks Andre,

I knew already about these figures, but I am interesting, in the case of 
CC2420, know how the power is used, i.e. % goes amplifier, filtering, DAC, 
despreding, PLL, etc trying to understand the sources or power consumption in 
reception.

Thanks, 

Joan

Hello

 

As you can see, www.cs.berkeley.edu/~culler/papers/spots05-telos.pdf, table 3.

The more robust modelations make a price on the energy waste at reception.
