Recent advancement in wireless communications and electronics has enabled the development of low power sensor network. Wireless sensor network are often used in remote monitoring control applications, health care, security and environmental monitoring. Wireless sensor networks are an emerging technology consisting of small, low-power, and low-cost devices that integrate limited computation, sensing, and radio communication capabilities. Sensor network platform for health care has been designed, fabricated and tested. This system consists of an embedded micro-controller, Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver, power management, I/O expansion, and serial communication (RS-232). The hardware platform uses Atmel ATmega128L 8-bit ultra low power RISC processor with 128KB flash memory as the program memory and 4KB SRAM as the data memory. The radio transceiver (Chipcon CC1000) operates in the ISM band at 433MHz or 916MHz with a maximum data rate of 76.8kbps. Also, the indoor radio range is approximately 20-30m. When many sensors have to communicate with the controller, standard communication interfaces such as Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) or Integrated Circuit ($I^{2}C$) allow sharing a single communication bus. With its low power, the smallest and low cost design, the wireless sensor network system and wireless sensing electronics to collect health-related information of human vitality and main physiological parameters (ECG, Temperature, Perspiration, Blood Pressure and some more vitality parameters, etc.)

This study investigated the magnetic properties and frequency dispersion of complex permeability of Ni-Zn-Co ferrites used for magnetic shielding in near field communication (NFC) system. The sintered specimens of $(Ni_{0.7}Zn_{0.3})_{1-x}Co_xFe_2O_4$ composition were prepared by the conventional ceramic processing. The coercive force and saturation magnetization were measured by vibrating sample magnetometer. The complex permeability was measured by RF impedance analyzer in the range of 1 MHz~1.8 GHz. The coercive force increased and saturation magnetization decreased with increasing the Co substitution. The real and imaginary parts of complex permeability decreased and the resonance frequency increased with Co substitution, which was attributed to the increase in crystal anisotropy field and reduction in saturation magnetization. The effect of Co substitution could be found in reducing the magnetic loss to nearly zero at the operating frequency of NFC (13.56 MHz).

최근 반도체 기술과 무선 통신기술의 발전으로 센서 네트워크를 이용한 응용 분야가 다양하게 나타나고 있다. 본 논문에서는 센서 네트워크를 이용하여 산악지역의 자동인원계수시스템과 환경모니터링시스템을 개발했다. 이 시스템은 저전력으로 동작하고 이중 RF 보드를 이용하여 최대한 신뢰성 있는 데이터 전송이 가능하도록 개발하였다. 또한 산악지역에서 데이터 전송율과 통신 신뢰성을 만족시킬 수 있는 433MHz 대역이 적합함을 실험을 통하여 확인하였다. 기존의 CCD 카메라를 이용한 자동인원계수기는 전원공급과 네트워크 부재로 인하여 산악지역에서는 사용하기에 부적합하다. 본 논문에서는 산악지역의 탐방로 폭이 협소함을 이용하여 포토 빔 센서를 이용한 양방향 계수센서를 개발하였다. 산악지역에서 실험한 결과 1.5m 이하의 도로 폭에서 95% 이상의 계수 신뢰도를 보임을 확인할 수 있다.
