Development and Evaluation of an Energy-efficient LiFi-Receiver with Energy-Harvesting Capability

• Typ der Arbeit: Masterarbeit
• Status der Arbeit: laufend
• Betreuer: Marek Jahnke

Sometimes it is necessary to operate a sensitive sensor fully autonomous within the satellite. This could be e.g. a magnetometer which should not be connected to the rest of the system nor to the power supply.

Recent research studied Simultaneous Lightwave Information and Power Transfer (SLIPT).

In this thesis an energy-efficient LiFi-Receiver that is able to use the received light to harvest energy and completely power itself is to be developed and evaluated. This should include the selection of components, as well as calculation and evaluation on how the energy-budget depending on the selected type and number of LEDs and Photodiodes (or solar-cell) can be used for self-powering and processing.

Tasks

• Get familiar with the topic, literature research
• Research different amplifier circuits
• Research components, characterize, pro/contra
• Design, analyze and simulate circuit(s) (based on the previous research)
• Develop, build, test and evaluate Hardware/PCB/Circuit
• Documentation
