Smart Enclosure Design for Resilient Measurement Systems
The IonoSense System provides thermal and humidity management for sensitive signal measuring equipment in harsh outdoor environments. It uses two physically isolated enclosures for its analog and digital subsystems. The analog enclosure protects against EMI and maintains low-noise operation, while the digital enclosure handles data acquisition and active thermal control using infrared temperature sensor readings to drive PWM fans and polyimide heaters for stable internal conditions. The SHT31 humidity sensor serves as an excess humidity alarm. Signal integrity is protected through copper shielding and filtered connectors. Applications include space weather monitoring and geophysical sensing.
