Abstract
Enabling long-range, small form-factor transceivers can address a number of green and environmental monitoring applications. This paper explores an alternative method for sensor data communication using long-range wireless transceivers to communicate sensor data. A Wide Area Radio Network for Sensor (WARNS) communication which allows direct communication of a sensor mote to a base-station several kilometers away is proposed along with a discussion on the associated hardware challenges. A study is also provided for one of the most challenging hardware blocks in a WARNS radio, the Power Amplifier (PA).
