This means that on-board obstacle detection and collision avoidance is a must-have in order to overcome existing legal barriers and acceptance issues. Some of the currently available sensors are too large, too heavy, or can be poorly integrated into existing systems. During the exhibition a demonstration of a novel micro-sensor operating at 120 GHz will be given and participants will have the chance to experience the device first-hand.}}, author = {{Nava, Federico and Genschow, Dieter and Scheytt, Christoph}}, booktitle = {{DRONE Berlin 2016}}, title = {{{Obstacle detection using a miniaturized radar sensor operating at 120GHz ISM band}}}, year = {{2016}}, } @inproceedings{24271, abstract = {{An ultra-broadband analog correlator consisting of a four-quadrant multiplier and an ultra-fast resettable integrator using only NPN transistors was designed, fabricated, and measured. For the integrator, a cross-coupled transistor pair is used as a negative resistance generator. A novel ultra-fast reset circuit is implemented which allows to reset the integrator within very short time of 120 ps. The chip was fabricated using 130 nm SiGe BiCMOS technology with fT of 250 GHz and f max of 300 GHz. In the measurements carried out on printed circuit board, the correlator operated without noticeable performance degradation with inputs up to 33 Gbps which correspond to a bandwidth of more than 24 GHz. The correlator exhibits high linearity with output P1dB of more than 9.9 dBm (700 mV diff ) for both inputs. It dissipates 122.5 mW for the core circuit excluding the 50 Ω output driver. To the knowledge of the authors, the circuit represents the fastest analog correlator published so far. It can be used for spread spectrum communication, radar signal processing, and measurement applications.}}, author = {{Javed, Abdul Rehman and Scheytt, Christoph and Von der Ahe, Uwe}}, booktitle = {{IEEE Bipolar/BiCMOS Circuits and Technology Meeting}}, issn = {{https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7738962}}, publisher = {{IEEE}}, title = {{{Linear ultra-broadband NPN-only analog correlator at 33 Gbps in 130nm SiGe BiCMOS technology}}}, doi = {{ 10.1109/BCTM.2016.7738962}}, year = {{2016}}, } @inproceedings{24269, abstract = {{Today's increasing number of sensors and computation nodes covered by cyber physical systems (CPS) results in rising complexity. For instance, computation results are based on measured data whose quality strongly depends on their age. CPS therefore have real-time requirements on computation results and communication to keep temporal dependency between measured inputs and computed outputs. In addition, today's CPS shall be modular to enable flexibility and scalability, e.g., postulated for production systems in context of Industry 4.0. Enabling CPS to easily integrate components by some Plug-and-Produce mechanism is desired.In this paper, we aim at enabling Plug-and-Produce in CPS using hypervisor-based virtualization. This implies hierarchical scheduling of dependent real-time systems. Here, dependencies are given by precedence constraints of tasks. Based on an approach for detection of new components added to a real-time network, in this paper we focus on integration of enabled applications into the current schedule of a computation node. Here, enabled application refers to an application software that just got executable by plugging some component to the CPS. Applications are encapsulated by virtual machines and provide a self-description including information about required and provided data as well as timing behavior. This self-description is used to adjust global scheduling and thus include new functionality to the CPS.}}, author = {{Jatzkowski, Jan and Adelt, Peer and Rettberg, Achim}}, booktitle = {{3rd International Conference on System-integrated Intelligence: New Challenges for Product and Production Engineering}}, pages = {{227--234}}, publisher = {{Elsevier}}, title = {{{Hierarchical Scheduling for Plug-and-Produce}}}, doi = {{ 10.1016/j.protcy.2016.08.031}}, year = {{2016}}, } @inproceedings{24270, abstract = {{In this paper a prototype of an ultra-compact continuous-wave (CW) and frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar system using a highly-integrated radar chip and in-package antennas will be presented.
