At the moment Swedish Transport Administration uses a monitor system that candetect urgent errors as warm ball-bearings and flat wheels etc. with stationarydetectors. To avoid these errors Swedish Transport Administration, UPWIS AB andUppsala University work with a system that will continuously monitoring the train todetect the errors as fast as possible. This will save money in the future for SwedishTransport Administration and all other partners that use the rails.Swedish Transport Administration has already RFID readers beside the rail to detecttrains position. The new monitoring system will use these readers and send data fromthe monitoring system via these readers to a database.The aim of this thesis work is to design and build a RFID antenna to send data fromthe monitoring system to the RFID readers. The antenna should be a circularpolarized and it needs to manage the harsh environment on the train.This thesis work started with a theoretical study which investigated four commonantenna types (dipole, loop, PIFA and patch/microstrip) to evaluate which antennatype that is the best solution for this application. It was decided to design a patchantenna from the theoretical study since it fulfils all the requirements for the antenna.Simulations and tests shows that the antenna is circular polarized and have amaximum reading distance of 5 m for 868 MHz. For 2.45 GHz it is linear polarizedand has a reading distance of at least 10 m. With other hardware settings the antennawill have longer reading distance at 2.45 GHz.When all parts of the test bed was finished the test bed was mounted on themeasurement wagon. The final test shows that the antenna fulfils the task. Theantenna transmitted the data from the sensor boxes to the RFID readers.The report suggests future work to minimize the reading distance and size for theantenna. These are: transfer sensor data to RFID tag by “multi hop”, hardwareimprovement for instance antenna diversity and using another substrate (higherdielectric constant).

Thesis deals with the issue of lighting technology control using wireless technology.

This thesis also contains a park aimed at the selection of suitable electronic components including the design of individual electronic blocks and printed circuit board. The conclusion of the thesis is the realization of electronic modules, including the creation of module software and measurement of achieved parameters under real conditions.

This master’s thesis deals with design and construction of a system for repote measurement of air quality in buildings. The first section provides a selection and analysis of used hardware and software components: minicomputer Raspberry Pi, STM32F401 microcontroller, communication module XBee-Pro, CO2 sensor and also communication interfaces IC and USART. The next section includes a design of electrical wiring, circuit board, configuration of the wireless modules and a software implementation for microcontroller and the concentrator.

This thesis describes designing of a wireless system which allows to transmit measured data of sensors made of smart concrete. Measured data are transmitted from measuring points to the collecting unit, which stores them, and pass them to the server which is connected in the Internet network. The design of the system is focused to achieve low power consumption of all used components to provide the longest possible operation time, when using primary lithium cell. The design should be also able to provide possibility of easy modification of the measuring points.

This diploma thesis deals with optimization of transmitter amplifier parameters for LoRaWAN network. The issue of optimization is first based on the conditions of ETSI EN 300 220, which takes into account the eventuality of interference the adjacent channels in the band. The optimizations are designed specifically for the Qorvo RF5110g integrated circuit, so that the amplifier meets the requirements of the above standard at the limit of the maximum allowed output power and also with respect to radio ecology.
