Vabilo na štiriintrideseto mednarodno Elektrotehniško in računalniško konferenco ERK 2025

Konferenca bo potekala v kongresnem centru Bernardin v Portorožu. Na konferenci bo od 25. do 26. septembra 2025 poleg rednih sekcij bogat vzporedni strokovni program v dveh dneh, zato Vas vzpodbujamo, da si vzamete čas in se v tej atmosferi informirate in pogovorite o novostih, trendih in možnosti razvoja naše stroke na specifičnih področjih, za katere in od katerih živite. Vabljena, pregledna in poučna predavanja bodo dopolnjevala osnovni program konference, kjer bodo raziskovalci poročali o svojih dosežkih pred kritičnim strokovnim forumom udeležencev. Delovna jezika sta slovenski, ker se negovanju slovenske tehniške besede ne moremo odpovedati, in angleški, s čimer vabimo vedno več udeležencev iz tujine. Na konferenci bodo zastopana naslednja področja:

  • elektronika,
  • telekomunikacije,
  • avtomatika in robotika,
  • simulacije in modeliranje,
  • akustika in elektroakustika,
  • računalništvo in informatika,
  • razpoznavanja vzorcev,
  • multimedija,
  • biomedecinska tehnika,
  • močnostna elektrotehnika,
  • merilna tehnika,
  • didaktika in študentski prispevki.

Konferenco organizira Slovenska sekcija IEEE v sodelovanju s Fakulteto za elektrotehniko Univerze v Ljubljani in drugimi strokovnimi društvi. Članek naj obsega 4 strani in je napisan v slovenščini ali angleščini, vendar od avtorjem pričakujemo, da bodo v istem jeziku članek predstavili tudi na konferenci!

Študente SB Ljubljana in SB Maribor vabimo na tekmovanje študentskih prispevkov 2025 Slovenske sekcije IEEE.

Predloge za pisanje prispevka: doc, pdf, LaTeX.

Evolution and trends of digital design in low power RF devices

Abstract. The design of RFID devices has significantly changed over the years. In terms of engineering hours per product invested, the dominant component was the analog design in the past, which is mostly addressing the RF communication part. Nowadays, this is not anymore true, and the digital component has taken the lead. Modern RFID devices require complex digital architectures that have one or more MCUs, acceleration circuits for encryption and complex digital communication interfaces.

The main properties that define designs perimeter are performance, size and power consumption. With these in mind, the most optimal solution must be found to guarantee the product’s success. It seems that, with technology getting smaller, the problem is being solved by itself, which in the end is not true. Customers are constantly looking for smaller devices due to limited space in their products. In addition, while the size of the antennas is being reduced as RFID devices are being placed in different wearables, the communication performance with a new product must be improved or at least not impacted.

In this presentation, we will demonstrate the evolution of digital design over the past decades and the demands that a digital designer is facing today in order to successfully complete the design. We will show the latest trends in RFID digital design that are addressing the aforementioned problems.
