The development of new space missions with novel high-performance and very sensitive payloads for Earth observation or scientific missions has imposed considerably tougher requirements in terms of the satellite's pointing accuracy and stability, and thus o ...

This article describes the design and the characterization of the ANTIGONE (ANalog To dIGital cONvErter) ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) built in AMS 0.35 m technology for low dc-current sensing. This energy-efficient ASIC was specifically d ...

Magnetorheological (MR) valves have been included in many innovative engineering systems, such as dampers, clutches, or brakes, with different fields of application. Their role serves actuation purposes, while integrated displacement and velocity sensing i ...

Ion-sensitive field-effect transistors (ISFETs) form a high sensitivity and scalable class of sensors, compatible with advanced complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) processes. Despite many previous demonstrations about their merits as low-power i ...

The ability to control and manipulate light is a fundamental aspect that is at the very core of the development of integrated photonic circuits. It is desirable to achieve such control down to a scale that is comparable to or smaller than the wavelength of ...

The estimation of rotor position is fundamental for the commissioning of magnetically-levitated drives. The sensors required for this measurement must be close to the rotor, often requiring constructive measures that may limit the application potential of ...
