      Institute for Sensors and Electronics

      We are the competence centre for sensor technology, with a special focus on aerosol measurement, microelectronics, signal processing and communication technology.

      Our competencies are used in many application areas: from environmental measurement technology to industrial electronics and avionics.

      We support industrial partners with the execution of research, development and consulting projects up to series production according to industrial standards. We take care of entire projects from system analysis and feasibility studies to specification, modelling, development, verification and implementation. In consultation with our industrial partners, we publish results in national and international journals.

      We advise industrial customers, model and verify complex circuits and carry out feasibility studies and concept assessments. We educate engineers in specialised courses and with Master of Advanced Studies (MAS).

      Blog of the Institute for Sensors and Electronics (in German)

      On this page we inform about current topics in the field of sensor technology and electronics, which we, the Institute for Sensor Technology and Electronics (ISE), are dealing with at the FHNW.

      Competencies

      • Aerosol Measurement Technology

        Competencies in the development of field measurement technology for aerosol measurement.

      • Communication Technology

        We develop communication systems from the channel model to the finished system.

      • Digital ASIC & FPGA Design

        We implement digital functions from algorithms with signal processing to FPGA in VHDL, including simulation with test bench, requirement tracing, code checking and implementation with the vendor tools.

      • Embedded Systems

        We develop smart solutions for a wide range of electronic applications.

      • Mixed Signal ASIC Design

        We combine the competences of analog and digital circuit technology.

      • Sensor Technology

        We develop sensor technologies as well as integrated sensor systems for industrial and research-related applications. We solve and optimize customer-specific measurement tasks by combining various sensor technologies.

      • Signal Processing

        We develop signal-processing systems from the algorithm to the finished implementation.

      Selected Projects

      • Aesthesiometer for measuring corneal sensitivity

        Feasibility study for the development of an aesthesiometer.

      • SAPE – a modular printing system

        The modular printing system SAPE raises the benchmark in terms of printing speed and quality.

      • Vortex throughflow measurement in steam

        Two FHNW institutes developed a new measuring method for an innovative product manufactured by Endress+Hauser.
