Sensor noise performance and analogue system design (B01)

• Subject Area: Electronic Semiconductors, Components and Circuits, Integrated Systems, Sensor Technology, Theoretical Electrical Engineering ; Communication Technology and Networks, High-Frequency Technology and Photonic Systems, Signal Processing and Machine Learning for Information Technology
• Term: since 2016
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 286471992

The project aims to design and improve magnetoelectric sensors systems in the CRC by investigating custom analog signal processing and sensor conditioning techniques. It links sensor hardware with applications. Main tasks include noise analysis for improved sensor and sensor system design and the investigation of conditioning methods such as impedance matching and magnetic field compensation. Advanced integration using ASICs, FPGAs and SIP enables complex modulation and readout systems. The objective is to achieve the same sensor performance in a clinical environment as under laboratory conditions.
