WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK AS A MEASUREMENT TOOL IN PRECISION AGRICULTURE

• Abstract:

  In this work it is proposed a new tool to measure crop water-content using RF communication signals from nodes of a wireless sensor network. Accurate measurement is obtained combining data from many nodes spread in the crop field. The mathematical model of the measuring process is discussed and experimental data are presented supporting the model.
