23 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering FPR Deliverables, Team Responsibilities
24
24 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Proposed FPR Deliverables Fully functional system System works and meets specs System fits into packaging and has professional- looking UI Multiple tags on a single fob Because we know you want it
25
25 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Individual Responsibilities Dave Zeifman Polish current “Beep” and “Hot/Cold” code Implement power-efficiency into TX/RX functions Write code for multiple tags per keyfob Quanquan Han Produce and integrate final BeepachU packaging
26
26 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Individual Responsibilities Mark Wagner Conduct power-efficiency measurements Polish audio driving code/speaker Eric Wagner Measure TX/RX range Tune antenna if possible

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Questions? Thank You

28 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Power Specifications (with 3.3V source) Keyfob (on) Sleep mode = 8.25uW (or 2.5uA) Transmitting as master device = 8.58mW (or 2.6mA) Transmitting + LED on = 54.45mW (or 16.5mA) Battery indication LED = 8.25mW (2.5mA) RX (always on) RX sleep/search mode (10% duty cycle) = 262.2mW (or 79.5uA) Paired as slave device = 8.58mW (or 2.6mA) Paired as slave + beep and blink= 640.2mW (or 194mA)
29
29 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Power Usage Estimations Keyfob (TX) is on for about 2 minutes per use Transmitting + LED on (for Hot/cold): 60s Working mode (for Beep): 10ms Battery indication LED: 120s Total = 1290.02615mAs = 0.359 mAh Tag (RX) is used for 2 minutes per use Hot/Cold active : 60s Beep & LEDs active: 5s Sleep/search mode = 55s Total = 1130.3725mAs = 0.314mAh Tag (RX) is on sleep/search mode for the rest of the time
30
30 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Antenna Efficiency Measurements Band of Operation: 2.4 - 2.5 GHz S11 = measure of power not radiated by antenna Max return loss within band = -15dB ≈ 3.1%
31
31 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Preliminary Cost Analysis “Each unit < $30 when “mass produced” Mass production = 5000 units or more made NOTES: -Each Beepachu unit requires 2 PCB’s -only the Tag requires a speaker Total Price Tag = $13.47 Fob = $14.01 Total = $27.48
32
32 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Multiple Tags for a Single Keyfob? ANT allows for “star networks” with one master (keyfob) and multiple slaves (tags) Tags must be paired with masters during initial programming multiple tags will have to be bought alongside the keyfob
33
33 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering ANT Network Security Can use Single Channel Encryption 128-bit AES-CTR (symmetric algorithm – single shared key) Supports multiple slaves per master on single channel, but only one channel per master
34
34 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Block Diagram: Network Diagram (using ANT protocol) ANT Protocol uses time-division multiplexing to separate channels Master and Slave devices are preset only to connect with eachother
