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.
