Elektronische Türschilder zur Darstellung von Informationen sind insbesondere in öffentlichen Gebäuden zwischenzeitlich weit verbreitet. Die Varianz dieser elektronischen Türschilder reicht vom Tablet-basierten Türschild bis hin zum PC-basierten Türschild mit externem Bildschirm. Zumeist werden die Systeme mit 230 V betrieben. Bei einer großen Summe von Türschildern in öffentlichen Gebäuden kann dies zu einem signifikanten Umsatz an Energie führen. Im Rahmen dieses Papers wird die Entwicklung eines energieautarken arbeiten Türschildes vorgestellt, bei dem ein E-Paper-Display zum Einsatz kommt. Das Türschild lässt sich per Smartphone-App und NFC-Schnittstelle konfigurieren. Es wird insbesondere auf das Low-Power-Hardware-Design der Elektronik und energetische Aspekte eingegangen.

The SoC includes an integrated 32 bit microcontroller, sensor interface circuit, analog to digital converter, integrated RAM, ROM and some other peripherals required for the complete passive operation. The entire chip is realized in CMOS 0.18 μm technology with a chip area of 1.52mm x 3.24 mm.
Analysis of Miniaturized Printed Flexible RFID/NFC Antennas Using Different Carrier Substrates
(2020)
Antennas for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) provide benefits for high frequencies (HF) and wireless data transmission via Near Field Communication (NFC) and many other applications. In this case, various requirements for the design of the reader and transmitter antennas must be met in order to achieve a suitable transmission quality. In this work, a miniaturized cost-effective RFID/NFC antenna for a microelectronic measurement system is designed and printed on different flexible carrier substrates using a new and low-cost Direct Ink Writing (DIW) technology. Various practical aspects such as reflection and impedance magnitude as well as the behavior of the printed RFID/NFC antennas are analyzed and compared to an identical copper-based antenna of the same size. The results are presented in this paper. Furthermore, the problems during the printing process itself on the different substrates are evaluated. The effects of the characteristics on the antenna under kink-free bending tests are examined and subsequently long-term measurements are carried out.
Radio frequency identification (RFID) antennas are popular for high frequency (HF) RFID, energy transfer and near field communication (NFC) applications. Particularly for wireless measurement systems the RFID/NFC technology is a good option to implement a wireless communication interface. In this context, the design of corresponding reader and transmitter antennas plays a major role for achieving suitable transmission quality. This work proves the feasibility of the rapid prototyping of a RFID/NFC antenna, which is used for the wireless communication and energy harvesting at the required frequency of 13.56 MHz. A novel and low-cost direct ink writing (DIW) technology utilizing highly viscous silver nanoparticle ink is used for this process. This paper describes the development and analysis of low-cost printed flexible RFID/NFC antennas on cost-effective substrates for a microelectronic vital parameter measurement system. Furthermore, we compare the measured technical parameters with existing copper-based counterparts on a FR4 substrate.

Mit zunehmend komplexer werdenden Schaltungen wachsen auch die Anforderungen an die Entwicklung einer entsprechenden Leiterplatte. Mit der BOARD-Station von MENTOR-Graphics können professionelle Leiterplatten entwickelt werden.
Im Rahmen dreier Entwicklungsprojekte an der Fachhochschule Offenburg wurden mehrere aufwendige Layoutentwürfe mit der BOARD-Station in verschiedenen Diplomarbeiten durchgeführt. Im Folgenden wird über die dabei gewonnenen Erfahrungen berichtet.
Smart Home or Smart Building applications are a growing market. An increasing challenge is to design energy efficient Smart Home applications to achieve sustainable and green homes. Using the example of the development of an Indoor Smart Gardening system with wireless monitoring and automated watering this paper is discussing in particular the design issue of energy autonomous working sensors and actuators for home automation. Most important part of the presented Smart Gardening system is a 3D printed smart flower pot for single plants. The smart flower pot has integrated a water reservoir for automated plant irrigation and an electronic for monitoring important plant parameters and the water level of the water reservoir. Energy harvesting with solar cells enables energy autonomous working of the flower pot. A low-power wireless interface also integrated in the flowerpot and an external gateway based on a Raspberry Pi 3 enables wireless networking of multiple of those flower pots. The gateway is used for evaluating the plant parameters and as a user interface. Particularly the architecture of the energy autonomous wireless flower pot will be considered, because fully energy autonomous sensors and actuators for home automation could not be implemented without special concepts for the energy supply and the overall electronic.
The following paper presents the results of a feasibility study about Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) based wireless sensors. The development of industrial wireless sensors leads to important demands for the wireless technologies like a low energy consumption and a resource saving simple protocol stack. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a rather new wireless standard which will completely fulfill these fundamental requirements. A self-designed BLE sensor system has been used to explore the common applicability of BLE for wireless sensor systems. The evaluation results of various analyses with the BLE sensor system are now presented in this paper.
During the last ten years the development of wireless sensing applications has become more and more attractive. A major reason for this trend is the large quantity of available wireless technologies. The progressing demand on wireless technologies is mainly driven through development from the industrial wireless sensors market. Especially requirements like low energy consumption, a resource saving simple protocol stack and short timing delays between different states of the wireless transceivers are very important for wireless sensors. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a rather new wireless standard in addition to the traditional Bluetooth standard (Basis rate and enhanced data rate, BR/EDR) [1]. The BLE will completely fulfill these fundamental requirements. First BLE transceiver chips and modules are available and have been tested and implemented in products. In this paper the performance analysis results of a BLE sensor system which is based on the TI transceiver CC2540F [5] will be presented. The results can be taken for further important investigations like lifetime calculations or BLE simulation models.
Der Entwurf und die Realisierung gedruckter Schaltungen oder Elektronikkomponenten stellt ein intensives Thema der Forschung dar. Forschungsgruppen beschäftigen sich zunehmend mit der Entwicklung von gedruckten Energy Harvestern, weil diese kostengünstig und einfach herstellbar sind. Das Energy Harvesting (EH) oder auch das ”Mikro Energy Harvesting“ (MEH) bezeichnet die Gewinnung von elektrischer Energie aus der Umgebung, um elektronische Verbraucher zu versorgen, kontinuierliche Leistungen zu erzeugen, das System energieeffizienter zu machen, sowie die Energiespeicherung im Mikrowattbereich zu gewährleisten. Energy Harvesting-Systeme stellen eine Alternative gegenüber der Energieversorgung autarker Low-Power-Elektronik mit Batterien dar. Das Energiemanagement solcher EH-Systeme ist jedoch eine Herausforderung aufgrund der Energieverfügbarkeit und der im Zeitablauf nicht konstanten Verlustleistung. Dieser Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die derzeit existierenden ultra low-power Energiemanagement Schaltungen für Energy Harvester. Dabei wird insbesondere der Fokus auf gedruckte Energy Harvester gelegt. Es soll aufgezeigt werden, welche Aspekte der vorgestellten Energieversorgungsschaltungen bei der Entwicklung eines Energieversorgungschips für gedruckte Energy Harvester berüucksichtigt werden sollen.
