Following the automation of monitoring systems for pollution levels in cities or protected nature reserves, there comes a need to increase the autonomy of robotic vectors deployed in the field. Thus, it is important to consider the weight that these robots must hold in order to be able to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the environment. A balance must be struck in the size, weight, and complexity of the mobile laboratories used for measurement and the autonomy of robots, especially given that current technology does not allow, in most cases, a completely autonomous battery charging cycle. Thus, in this paper, we consider a microcontroller-based architecture for a mobile laboratory control system that will be used for installation on both an aerial and an aquatic mobile vector. We found that such a system can be repurposed for several sensor types and configurations, thus being able to massively reduce the space allocated when compared to embedded widespread products.

As 5/6G technologies are constantly evolving, radio links must be easily designed and analyzed. Focusing on budget and spur analyses for frequency domain concurrently with time domain simulation, the present paper presents a complete and new evaluation approach for radio frequency (RF) links in conformance with matching at the ports of the RF components blocks. Frequency and time domain simulations of RF links allow shorter design time and higher performances in a what-if approach. In the system simulation of the proposed radio link, the signal heritage stipulates if a signal corresponds to the carrier or is a source of intermodulation or distortion produced in the link considering the compression point and leakage from output to the input of power in various points through the link.
