Compared to traditional Doppler radar, passive radar offers a means of motion detection leveraging existing signals such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to reduce crowding in the EM spectrum. Previous works have demonstrated an ability to detect periodic motions using passive radar but relied on bulky commercial building blocks that increase both size and power consumption of the overall device. Amplification of the low-frequency signals is often accomplished using baseband amplifiers with high-pass behavior, resulting in long startup times when detecting low-frequency motions. In this work, a board-level passive radar operating in the 5-GHz Wi-Fi band is presented as a method of detecting small motions created by human motion. The proposed system offers a compact, efficient method of detecting the Doppler information of a target. A fast-startup baseband amplifier is used as a method of quickly reaching the desired operating point, while keeping cost and complexity low. The radar is tested both in a controlled and experimental setting to verify its effectiveness in detecting small-amplitude motions. The results demonstrate that passive radar offers a low-power solution to detecting motion using ambient signals.","PeriodicalId":186233,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Topical Conference on Wireless Sensors and Sensor Networks","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125436609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Radar systems have increasingly been used to recognize human movements but not yet in a musical context. In this study, a portable frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar is used to detect various violin bowing gestures. Range profiles and time-Doppler spectrograms are extracted from the raw signal data, and their unique characteristics allow for the differentiation of different bowing techniques and the recognition of incorrect bowing motions. The results of this study demonstrate the potential of radars in aiding musical instrument training.","PeriodicalId":186233,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Topical Conference on Wireless Sensors and Sensor Networks","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121641098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Smart solutions based on IoT can not only help the farmers in maximizing the profits but also help them in reducing the manual supervision of agriculture land. In a smart agriculture system, inexpensive, resource-constrained sensors are installed near the crops as well as at some strategic locations in an agriculture field to collect relevant crop and environment data in real time. This data is then used for both critical, latency-sensitive decision making as well as long-term planning. The key challenges in building a smart agriculture system include high communication latency and bandwidth consumption incurred with computing on the cloud, frequent Internet disconnections in rural areas, and a need for keeping the overall cost low for the end users (farmers). In this paper, we discuss the design and implementation of our on-going, LoRa-based three-tier smart agriculture system comprised of (i) Sensing layer, (ii) Fog layer, and (iii) Cloud layer. In particular, we focus on the how the low-power, low-bandwidth and long-range features of LoRa are utilized to transform traditional agriculture land of rural areas in India into smart agriculture system. We present the performance of our current prototype and compare with the existing, state-of-the-arts framework for smart agriculture system in terms of cost, latency and distance.","PeriodicalId":186233,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Topical Conference on Wireless Sensors and Sensor Networks","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130342054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
