Abstract

The Texas Instruments eZ430-Chronos development kit is a popular wireless platform for researchers, commercial developers, and hobbyists. Built into the form factor of a standard wrist watch, the Chronos is ideal for wireless body area networks (WBANs), indoor localization, and activity detection. Many of these applications requires knowledge of the RF performance of the platform, which has never been characterized by Texas Instruments nor any third parties. Here, we provide experimental data characterizing the RF performance of the eZ430-Chronos watch in various configurations, including when worn by a person while sitting, standing, and reaching. The RF performance of the Chronos watch is compared with an Angelos Ambient wireless mote that uses a common type of ceramic chip antenna. Our results indicate the Chronos has excellent omnidirectionality and reasonably good RF gain in all tested configurations.

表征eZ430-Chronos腕表的射频性能

德州仪器eZ430-Chronos开发套件是研究人员、商业开发人员和业余爱好者的流行无线平台。Chronos内置在标准腕表的外形中，是无线身体区域网络(wban)、室内定位和活动检测的理想选择。许多这些应用需要了解平台的射频性能，这是德州仪器或任何第三方从未描述过的。在这里，我们提供了表征eZ430-Chronos手表在各种配置下的射频性能的实验数据，包括人在坐着、站着和伸手时佩戴的射频性能。Chronos手表的射频性能与使用普通陶瓷芯片天线的Angelos Ambient无线mote进行了比较。结果表明，在所有测试配置中，Chronos具有优异的全方向性和相当好的射频增益。
