Application of wireless communication technology in geophysical instrument

Abstract

Geophysical instruments with high precision and resolution have become an important way during the development of geophysics. Some experts use modern electronic technology and computer technology into geophysical instrument. However, there are few papers on the application of wireless communication in geophysical instrument. This paper shows a kind of geophysical instrument, which is based on wireless communication and consists of data acquisition unit, data coordinator unit and computer. All the data acquisition units acquire the parameters and pass them to the data coordinator unit via wireless communication and the data coordinator unit collects the data, pass them to the computer finally. The system accomplishes the wireless communication with CC1100, a chip of Chipcon. This paper introduces the structure of the system and makes detailed explanation of the design. © Springer-Verlag 2012.
