Abstract

Safe wireless link and long battery life are indispensable feature for a portable and outdoor used device with build-in sensors. For this purpose, duty cycling, ultra-low power electronics design, dynamic power management, wireless network architecture and medium access control concepts in the design are explained in detailed. In this work, an ultra-low power wireless sensor network is designed with 4cmx4cm size and light weight nodes sending once every three minutes 115.2 kbps 5 byte package that have up to 131.25 year battery life time in theory with 3V (2x1.5V) 1000mAh battery. 868 and 915 MHz programmable 115.2 kbps ISM band FSK RF transceiver with a low power wake-up scheme is utilized for low cost unlicensed-used wireless sensor networks designed with Back Inverted F Antennas with 100m communication range for outdoor applications and 25m for indoor applications. Sensor node requires 0.5 uA, 2.5 mA, 0.8 uA, 14.6 mA and 25mA during sleep, measurement, sniff, receive and transmit mode respectively @ 868 MHz with 3V battery. The sensors has temperature compensation feature with -40-85 °C working range.
