A Wi-Fi wake-up receiver that receives wake-up signals encoded using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing based on-off keying (OFDM-OOK) modulation includes receiver circuitry having analog envelope detector circuitry configured to non-linearly down-convert an input signal and provide an energy signal for sampling by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
