HiTEAS aimed at developing a High Temperature Energy Autonomous System. The objectives of the project were to study, design and test an embedded system aiming at measuring strain or pressure, storing data in an embedded memory, communicating with RFID protocol when the aircraft is on ground and operating in a large temperature range (from -30°C up to 250°C) within a few tens of centimetre cube limited volume.

The project especially focused on:

• ASIC design, in SOI technology, including pressure, strain sensor interface and power management;
• Energy harvester development;
• Antenna design.
