The paper describes the design and the fabrication of a microelectronic circuit composed of a sensor, an oscillator, a modulator, a transmitter and an antenna. The chip embeds a custom radiation sensor, provided by the silicon foundry that has fabricated the prototypes, but in principle the entire system can read a general sensor, as long as a proper interface circuit is used. The natural application for this circuit is radiation monitoring but the low-power budget extends the applications to space where wireless readout circuits can be applied to any type of sensors, even if not radiation sensitive devices.

Abstract
The paper describes the design and the fabrication of a microelectronic circuit composed of a sensor, an oscillator, a modulator, a transmitter and an antenna. The chip embeds a custom radiation sensor, provided by the silicon foundry that has fabricated the prototypes, but in principle the entire system can read a general sensor, as long as a proper interface circuit is used. The natural application for this circuit is radiation monitoring but the low-power budget extends the applications to space where wireless readout circuits can be applied to any type of sensors, even if not radiation sensitive devices.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
