Abstract:This work proposes an underground things (UT) based on radio frequency identification for internet of UT (IoUT) systems. The UT is formed by a microstrip antenna encapsulated in a soil dielectric attenuator (SDA). The dimensions of the antenna and SDA are designed through simulations and a prototype is manufactured for experimentation in two types of soil. Reflection coefficient (S11) and received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurements were performed to verify the viability of the prototype. The measure… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
