Publication Open Access Enhanced single-stage folded cascode OTA suitable for large capacitive loads(IEEE, 2018) López Martín, Antonio; Garde Luque, María Pilar; Algueta-Miguel, Jose M.; Cruz Blas, Carlos Aristóteles de la; Carvajal, Ramón G.; Ramírez-Angulo, Jaime; Institute of Smart Cities - ISCAn enhanced single-stage folded cascode operational transconductance amplifier able to drive large capacitive loads is presented. Circuits that adaptively bias the input differential pair and the current folding stage are employed, which provide class AB operation with dynamic current boosting and increased gainbandwidth (GBW) product. Measurement results of a test chip prototype fabricated in a 0.5-µm CMOS process show an increase in slew rate and GBW by a factor of 30 and 15, respectively, versus the class A version using the same supply voltage and bias currents. Overhead in other performance metrics is small.Publication Open Access Class AB amplifier with enhanced slew rate and GBW(John Wiley & Sons, 2019) Garde Luque, María Pilar; López Martín, Antonio; Algueta-Miguel, Jose M.; Ramírez-Angulo, Jaime; González Carvajal, Ramón; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio IngeniaritzarenThe design of a micropower class AB operational transconductance amplifier with large dynamic current to quiescent current ratio is addressed. It is based on a compact and power-efficient adaptive biasing circuit and a class AB current follower using the Quasi-Floating Gate (QFG) technique. The amplifier has been designed and fabricated in a 0.5 um CMOS process. Simulation and measurement results show a slew rate (SR) improvement factor versus the class A version larger than 4 for the same supply voltage and bias currents, as well as enhanced small-signal performance.Publication Open Access Low-power ultrasonic front-end for cargo container monitoring(IEEE, 2019) Algueta-Miguel, Jose M.; García Oya, José Ramón; López Martín, Antonio; Cruz Blas, Carlos Aristóteles de la; Muñoz Chavero, Fernando; Hidalgo Fort, Eduardo; Institute of Smart Cities - ISCA low-power ultrasonic communication system conceived for cargo container monitoring is presented. Two piezoelectric transducers operating at 40 kHz are used for generating and acquiring an ultrasonic signal through the metallic wall, thus establishing a non-invasive inside-outside communication that preserves the container integrity. Both transducers are fixed by means of a novel magnetic case designed for optimizing data transmission. The acoustic and electrical characteristics of the ultrasonic channel are analyzed. An experimental measurement setup based on FPGA has been implemented for comparing some basic modulation and detection schemes in terms of Bit Error Rate (BER), also considering their robustness against undesired mechanical and electromagnetic perturbations. On this basis, a compact digital DBPSK modulator using a square carrier signal is proposed. Frequency and amplitude tracking algorithms are designed for optimizing the quality and robustness of the data transmission. Finally, a low-power low-rate (up to few kbps) architecture based on the previous elements is presented. All the proposed contributions are experimentally validated.Publication Open Access Energy harvesting approaches in IoT scenarios with very low ambient energy(European Association for the Development of Renewable Energy, Environment and Power Quality (EA4EPQ), 2019) López Martín, Antonio; Algueta-Miguel, Jose M.; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Institute of Smart Cities - ISCThe feasibility of multi-source energy harvesting in Internet of Things (IoT) scenarios with low and intermittent ambient energy is addressed. As a relevant case study, application to a smart cargo container system is analysed. The most relevant features of the main energy sources available in this target application are identified, and various transducers adapted to such sources are evaluated. Measurement results indicate that combined piezoelectric and thermoelectric generation inside cargo containers can significantly extend the battery lifetime of IoT end nodes embedded in such containers.Publication Open Access Subsampling OFDM-based ultrasonic data communication through metallic channels for monitoring of cargo containers(IEEE, 2019) García Oya, José Ramón; Algueta-Miguel, Jose M.; García Doblado, José; Muñoz Chavero, Fernando; Hidalgo Fort, Eduardo; Baena Lecuyer, Vicente; López Martín, Antonio; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de ComunicaciónAn enhanced ultrasonic communication system based on piezoelectric transducers for monitoring of goods in cargo containers is presented. The proposed system consists of several sensors placed inside the container, whose data are collected and transmitted outside it. Data transmission is carried out by an ultrasonic communication channel, in order to avoid drilling the wall of the container. The proposed data communication system is based on the transmission of a 128-OFDM signal. This modulation has been chosen due to its robustness to channels with frequency-selective fading and its spectrum efficiency. In order to increase the signal bandwidth and to reduce the power consumption at the internal node (transmitter), the proposed system exploits the non-linearity of the metallic channel to transmit at higher resonance frequencies. Moreover, power consumption at the external node (receiver) is reduced by using a subsampling based receiver, which allows its implementation by low-cost electronics.
