The technological evolution of low power microprocessors is enabling to process data locally, saving energy and bandwidth and increasing the overall throughput of the wireless network. This paper presents a new general-purpose Inertial Measure Unit that exploits a dual-core architecture. A core offers processing capability, and the other one is a radio interface IEEE 802.15.4. We propose the whole system and a protocol to maximize the throughput, reduce the packet loss and improve the robustness of wireless sensor nodes communication. Experimental results show that our solution offers better data throughput for configurations below 10 nodes compared to widely used commercial wireless sensor nodes. The paper also presents an experimental evaluation of scalability (up to 10 nodes) and power consumption of the proposed solution.","PeriodicalId":330672,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 8th International Workshop on Advances in Sensors and Interfaces (IWASI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123273043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a robust and low-cost energy-autonomous wireless rotational speed sensor is presented, which harvests energy from the rotary motion of its host using the variable reluctance principle. A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) gyroscope is utilized for angular velocity measurements, and a Bluetooth Low Energy System-on-Chip (SoC) transmits the acquired samples wirelessly. An analysis on the individual subsystems is performed, investigating the output of the energy transducer, the required energy by the load, and energy losses in the whole system. The results of simulations and experimental measurements on a prototype implementation show that the system achieves energy-autonomous operation with sample rates between 1 to 50 Hz already at 10 to 40 rotations per minute. Detailed investigations of the system modules identify the power management having the largest potential for further improvements.","PeriodicalId":330672,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 8th International Workshop on Advances in Sensors and Interfaces (IWASI)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121311176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CMOS circuits placed close to the quantum bits and operating at cryogenic temperatures offer the best solution for the control of millions of qubits. The performance requirements of the electronics are very stringent and its design requires the simultaneous optimization of both the circuits and the quantum system. This paper presents the SPINE (SPIN Emulator) toolset for the co-design and co-optimization of electronic/quantum systems. It comprises a SPICE simulator enhanced with a Verilog-A model based on a Hamiltonian solver emulating the quantum behavior of single-electron spin qubits. A co-design methodology is proposed to derive on the one hand the specifications of the electrical signals to be applied to and captured from the qubits, and to ensure on the other hand, the compliance of the electronics in generating the required signals. This methodology results in an optimized qubit performance while considering practical trade-offs in the control circuits, such as power consumption, complexity and cost as proven by a practical design example.","PeriodicalId":330672,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 8th International Workshop on Advances in Sensors and Interfaces (IWASI)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115054071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

LoRa is one of the most popular solution for low-power and long-range communication in IoT, providing mW power consumption and km range with few kB of throughput. Recently Semtech, the only LoRa transceiver producer, released the SX126X, a novel and optimized version of its popular SX1276 transceiver. Semtech promises lower power and higher range for the new transceiver. This paper analyzes and compares the power consumption of the two transceivers with experimental in-field measurements. Moreover, the paper presents a smart sensor node for the long term and long-range monitoring that use the novel transceiver to transmit data to a remote gateway. Experimental evaluation shows the improvements of the new SX126x transceiver with up to 72% of power saved in transmission over the same conditions. Furthermore, we show the lifetime of the whole senosr node, achieving up to 4.5 years with a 2000mAh battery while sensing and transmitting once per 10 minutes.","PeriodicalId":330672,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 8th International Workshop on Advances in Sensors and Interfaces (IWASI)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117135913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
