“…In [154], the authors suggest the use of "motes" for WSN applications on mini, micro and nano satellites. Motes are wireless microsensors that integrate a low-power micro-controller, a RF transceiver, and a power supply with one or more sensors attached or embedded.…”

In the world of space systems and launchers in particular, there is always a strong demand for the reduction of the weight of all components/subsystems that are not related to the payload and simplification of the integration phase. A possible solution to both these problems is the replacement of cables and connectors with wireless systems for communication and power supply. With this aim, a survey was carried out through an analysis of the technical/scientific literature available on wireless communication standards and electric power transfer methods. To evaluate wireless systems’ effective applicability, the existence of applicable standards and commercial components that could facilitate their implementation was also verified. To provide information on specific applications, a synthesis of experiences in the aeronautical and space fields of wireless system demonstrators was reported. Consequently, it is clear that there is interest in the subject, but some applications are still limited to the demonstration of systems or, at most, to non-critical functions. Since wireless power transfer methods need less energy from the sensor nodes, a brief investigation into the architectures and components necessary to implement low-power sensor nodes is also included in this study.

“…The study reported viable technology for implementing an intra-car wireless sensor network. Two related studies reported that the wireless harness with IEEE 802.15.4 or ZigBee reduced the power requirements [23] and the satellites' power consumption [24]. The related study [25], [27], [28] for the 3U CubeSat also attempted to construct the wireless harness called SKITH (SKIpTheHarness) of the InnoCube project.…”

CubeSats of nanosatellites have attracted the attention of space scientists and engineers seeking to observe the space environment and develop innovative technologies in space engineering. The CubeSat is a class of miniaturized satellites with a form factor based on a 10 cm cube. However, the dimensional constraints of CubeSats restrict the embedding of relatively large mission devices, such as attitude control systems, into the satellites. Moreover, the harness used to transfer the data and supply power to the mission devices also occupies physical space to embed the mission devices. Therefore, this research surveys earlier studies on nanosatellite harness design. In addition, we consider the possibility of an optical wireless harness for the satellite bus system to achieve a more effective and reliable design for the CubeSats.

“…At present, aircraft, vehicles, industrial machinery and other equipment mainly transmit data through cable, but the weight, volume, cost, reliability and other problems brought by the huge cable network restrict the carrying capacity, development cycle and maintainability of the equipment [1]. For the closed metal space with complex, compact and narrow layout, the traditional radio frequency and optical wireless communication technology will experience strong fading and dense multipath effect, which makes the signal unable to transmit reliably.…”

In the cabin area communication scenario based on quasi-static electric field coupling, signal leakage will occur when a single channel or negative plate is grounded. This paper analyzes the cause of this problem through modeling and simulation, and proposes to use differential transmission in cabin area communication to solve the problem of signal leakage. Finally, a test prototype is made using FPGA and a test device is designed to verify the feasibility of this method.
