Abstract

This demonstration presents the results of a study addressing an issue that has constrained the effectiveness of wireless sensor network deployments to date, namely, connectivity. A physically compact, diversity antenna has been developed that is low in complexity and therefore suitably controlled using resource-limited wireless sensor hardware. Herein, this prototype antenna is demonstrated utilizing an IEEE 802.15.4 compliant, Freescale-based platform.
