Plant Doctor: Harnessing Backscatter Radio Sensors for Agriculture

WINLAB Summer Internship 2024
Group Members: Sam-Fone Cheung & Shriya Das
Advisor: Aggelos Bletsas

Project Objective

Backscatter radio, or reflection radio, offers a low-cost and low-power alternative to conventional radio sensor networks. This is crucial for modern agriculture which requires continual monitoring of environmental conditions such as soil moisture or temperature. Prior research has been done using capacitance sensors to measure soil moisture and …

Weekly Progress

Week 1

Week 1 Presentation
Progress: Read prior art about backscatter radio, RFID (radio frequency identification) tags, and capacitance sensors.

Week 2

[Week 2 Presentation]
Progress: Used RTL-SDR's to explore software-defined radios (SDR) and tune into local FM stations. Also familiarized ourselves with GNURadio.
