Abstract-We evaluate an ultra-low-power radiation-sensing circuit based on a radiation sensitive MOSFET (RADFET) for use in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) powered by energy harvesting with a special focus on airborne applications. We estimate a worst-case energy budget below 10 µJ per readout cycle superimposed on a constant worst-case power budget below 10 µW. The sensor circuit operates successfully with a wireless sensor node powered by a piezoelectric harvester and power management unit which is able to provide up to 2.5 mW at 10 Hz, 600 µε in emulated flight mode.

Wireless sensor networks consist of physically distributed autonomous sensor nodes that cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions. One of the greatest benefits of wireless sensor networks is that they are capable of generating a more complete view of the sensed environment by acquiring larger quantities of correlated data than independent sensor monitors. The aircraft cabin is a highly dynamic environment which necessitates the use of more advanced sensing systems. It is with the motivation of painting a better picture of the aircraft cabin environment that such a wireless sensor network is being designed and prototyped. This paper discusses the design considerations required for wireless sensor networks in the aircraft cabin environment, as well as an overview of past and present systems developed for use in aircraft cabin environmental sensing. In addition to the sensor network, supporting tools are also discussed to enable analysis of the data collected. The primary goal of this research is to provide sensing tools to enable better characterization of the aircraft cabin environment.
