The work presents the project of ultra-low power sensor node for IoT applications with LoRa interface, which was successfully designed and tested. The main features of this design is its low power consumption, long distance communication and secure data transmission. By using external nano timer TPL5110 it is possible to reduce the end node consumption current Ic from 4.2uA to 290nA. This increases battery life and sensor autonomous operation.

The paper presents the noise analysis of different sensor types using Allan Variance (AV). Compared to the conventional variance that assesses the variation around the mean value of the aggregate data surveyed, AV estimates variations by averaging measurements for different periods. This approach often leads to the possibility of directly distinguishing the different noise types and to better convergence of the process of assessing their levels. An important advantage of this method is that there is no need for any further transformations. According to IEEE recommendations, the AV approach is the preferred method for identifying stochastic error and for determining the type of noise in different types of inertial sensors. The purpose of this work is to study the applicability of the AV analysis method for efficient noise analysis for other types of sensors such as CO2 and MEMS pressure sensors.

The current paper discusses the design of the pollution and communication system which is capable to measure the H2S levels in very low concentrations in ppb range. The system also reads the temperature and humidity values from the analog output values and send the measured values to the remote server via GSM/GPRS connection, which are stored in MySQL table for further analysis and visualization. The ultra-low noise design of the AD conversion is proposed. To achieve better sensitivity all parts of the design such as AD converter, voltage reference and power supply IC are specially selected towards the better noise characteristics.

To control the battery charge from a solar panel, the DC / DC converters controlled by the MPPT controller are often used to lower DC power. The major problem that is solved in most researches is to quickly determine the power point of the panel. This article proposes developing a more functionality controller and maintaining battery power even in cloudy weather. Calculations are made for a given function in different modes of the solar panel. Values are recorded and so we have a number of functions that are subsequently called for the particular mode. Two PID controllers are implemented in the current limitation mode. Calculate the first power derivative and keep the result to be zero.

There are several guiding methods for calculating one of the main reliability indicators-failure rate of electronic components. Generally, methods are divided into three groups: methods with multiplicative pi-factors, methods with additive pi-factors and combined methods. The present paper compares the results and applicability of two methods - MIL-HDBK-217F and FIDES, which over the last years have established themselves as basic methods.
