Review: What is BeepachU? Problem: Lost items Solution: Cheap tracking tag that makes sounds to lead
you to your item Key Fob transmits to tag tag makes sound for user
Where’s my Wallet?
6Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Review: BeepachU Specifications Range: 100m (outdoor line of sight) Battery life: 6 months for both Keyfob and Tag Weight: Keyfob < .5 lb, Tag < .5 Ib Response time: under 2 seconds Size:
• Keyfob < 4 square inches• Tag < 3 square inches
Robust• Tag will not be set off by interference signal
Cheap: Each unit < $30 when mass produced

Block Diagram: Antenna + PCB Planar Inverted F Antenna
(PIFA) integrated into PCB• Isotropic, often used in cell
phones• Can be tuned manually by
scraping copper off its end
Same PCB used for keyfob and tag (reduces cost)
PCB = 1.2 x 1.5 inches

Review of Proposed CDR Deliverables Fully functional system
• Doesn’t necessarily meet specs, but works• Powered by battery• Implemented on custom PCB not development board• Hot cold feature implemented• Beep will work and will be audible

24Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Proposed FPR Deliverables Fully functional system
• System works and meets specs• System fits into packaging and has professional-
looking UI
Multiple tags on a single fob• Because we know you want it

Power Specifications (with 3.3V source) Keyfob (on)
• Sleep mode = 8.25uW (or 2.5uA)• Transmitting as master device = 8.58mW (or 2.6mA)• Transmitting + LED on = 54.45mW (or 16.5mA)• Battery indication LED = 8.25mW (2.5mA)
RX (always on)• RX sleep/search mode (10% duty cycle) = 262.2mW (or
79.5uA)• Paired as slave device = 8.58mW (or 2.6mA)• Paired as slave + beep and blink= 640.2mW (or 194mA)
29Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Power Usage Estimations Keyfob (TX) is on for about 2 minutes per use
• Transmitting + LED on (for Hot/cold): 60s• Working mode (for Beep): 10ms• Battery indication LED: 120s• Total = 1290.02615mAs = 0.359 mAh
Tag (RX) is used for 2 minutes per use• Hot/Cold active : 60s• Beep & LEDs active: 5s• Sleep/search mode = 55s• Total = 1130.3725mAs = 0.314mAh
Tag (RX) is on sleep/search mode for the rest of the time

Antenna Efficiency Measurements
Band of Operation: 2.4 - 2.5 GHz
S11 = measure of power not radiated by antenna
Max return loss within band = -15dB ≈ 3.1%
31Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Preliminary Cost Analysis “Each unit < $30 when “mass
produced” Mass production = 5000 units
or more made
NOTES:-Each Beepachu unit requires 2
PCB’s-only the Tag requires a speaker
Total PriceTag = $13.47Fob = $14.01Total = $27.48
32Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Multiple Tags for a Single Keyfob? ANT allows for “star networks” with one master
(keyfob) and multiple slaves (tags)
Tags must be paired with masters during initial programming
multiple tags will have to be bought alongside the keyfob
33Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
ANT Network Security Can use Single Channel Encryption
• 128-bit AES-CTR (symmetric algorithm – single shared key)
• Supports multiple slaves per master on single channel, but only one channel per master
34Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Block Diagram: Network Diagram (using ANT protocol) ANT Protocol uses
time-division multiplexing to separate channels
Master and Slave devices are preset only to connect with eachother
