Abstract:
Smart wireless technique is one of the emerging technologies for intelligent home
automation. There are number of wireless communication modules which can be
used for the communication inside the house or office such as Bluetooth, ZigBee, ZWa
ve, Wi-Fi, Insteon, RFM69HW and etc. By comparing all these module's cost and
power consumption with high RF output power RFM69HW RF transceiver has
been selected to be used for the smart home wireless network. The problem is this
module is available in the market with no antenna. This research is about how to
select a suitable antenna for low power RFM69HW transceiver module with
enough receiving power level required for a smart home network. This paper
contains the process of designing a suitable antenna for RFM69HWRF transceiver
module for a better communication between two transceiver modules. Here
different factors were considered which affect the Received Signal Strength
Indicator (RSSI) value of the receiver by considering relevant equations and
experimental results. The aim of this research is to select a suitable antenna for
RFM69HW RF transceiver module.
