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.)

Indoor location system using wireless sensor network technology was applied for the status evaluation and activity monitoring of elderly person or chronic invalid at home. Location awareness application is transparent to the daily activities, while providing the embedded computing infrastructure with an awareness of what is happening in this space. To locate an object, the active ceiling-mounted reference beacons were placed throughout the building. Reference beacons periodically publish location information on RF and ultrasonic signals to allow application running on mobile or static nodes to study and determine their physical location. Once object-carried passive listener receives the information, it subsequently determines it's location from reference beacons. By using only the sensor nodes without any external network infrastructure the cost of the system was reduced while the accuracy in our experiments. was fairly good and fine grained between 7 and 15 cm for location awareness in indoor environments. Passive architecture used here provides the security of the user privacy while at the server the privacy was secured by providing the authentication using Geopriv approach. This information from sensor nodes is further forwarded to base station where further computation is performed to determine the current position of object and several applications are enabled for context awareness.

The present paper designed a weight measuring instrumentation system in which data conversion and a series of signal processing were totally equipped. 16 loadcell are incoming sensors and each output of the loadcell was amplified and filtered for proper analog signal processing. Several measuring instrumentation OP amps and general purposed OP amps were used. 12 bits A/D converters converted analog signals to digital bits and a PIC microprocessor controlled the 16 channels of loadcell. RF RS232 modules were used for wireless communication between the PIC microprocessor and an ethernet host for a remote sensor monitoring system development.

In the field of network sense for the Ubiquitous environment, the technology of RFID is a significant part. Due to the real time processing of information and the property of network, RFID has been used in service field such as distribution, administrative control of physical distribution, remote measuring device, and security. instead of currently used bar-code. The management system of port facilities using the current RFID technology has the effects of reducing working hours and improvement in data processing, but it is not proper for human resource allocation since it is dominantly worked for physical resources. In this paper, we designed and implemented personnel control system using RFID of 2.4GHz in port facilities which presents a monitoring system for safety operation and increase of efficiency using RFID in order to overcome the limitations and problems of current port operation management techniques.

A wireless telemetry measurement system, using ISFETs, was developed for environmental monitoring applications, industrial processes, medical treatments and so on. This system is composed of the measurement part located at remote site and a personal computer(PC) which control whole instrument process. The measurement part transmits measured data to the PC by RF transceiver, and transmitted data are analyzed and handled in the PC. Proposed system utilizing time division multiplexing for the transmission of 3channel ISFET signal. The measurement part has an identification number(ID) so that the PC controls many measurement parts separately. Experiments were performed using pH-ISFETs, and the implemented system operates well within designed specification and accuracy of 0.1 pH.

Wireless sensor networks do the monitoring and collecting information in the environment instead of human. Sensor networks are consisted of small sensor nodes with very limited hardware resource and very low network bandwidth. The wireless communication environment causes lots of communication errors so that the sensor network requires error correction technique to increase the reliability of network. The performance of error correction technique could be increased by the researches about the error pattern of CRC. In the paper, we did the performance evaluation - transmission interval, distance between sensor nodes, racket size, and RF power - that affects to the success ratio of data transmission in the indoor environment. we propose the performance metrics of system configuration based on the analysis of performance evaluation.

The Study of environment monitoring through huge network of wireless sensor node is worked with activity. The sensor nodes must be very small, light and low cost. The localization which may determine where a given node is physically located in a network is one of the quite important problems for wireless sensor network. But simple localization method is required as excluding the usage of GPS(Global Positioning System) by the limit condition such as the node size, costs, and so on. In this paper, very simple method using connectivity for the outdoor RF communication environment is proposed. The proposed method is demonstrated through simulation.

In this paper, a circuit for detecting a fine oscillation in an integrated PCS and W-CDMA receiver is presented. The advantages for this design are small size and flexible compatibility for system operation compared with the conventional method. The fine oscillation level can be detected by dB unit through selecting the receiver mode as PCS of 1.8 GHz range or W CDMA of 1.9 GHz range by a RF switch and monitoring the corresponding frequency band. Also, the circuit is designed to be flexible for other communication systems with the consideration of the required dynamic range of 75 dB.
