Analysis and Implementation of Magnetic Induction Wireless Underground Communication System

Magnetic induction wireless communication ( MIWC ) is a new technique transmitting data by quasi-static coupled magnetic field. The traditional electromagnetic-wave-based wireless communication in the underground envi-ronment encounters many challenges such as complex channel states and the requirement of large antenna size etc. MIWC can be regarded as an alternative means for underground communication,so that it is more suitable for wireless underground sensor networks( WUSNs) . Considering the requirement of the WUSNs,a wireless communication model based on magnetic coupling coils is established and the distribution of the magnetic field is analyzed. Furthermore,the magnetic induction wireless underground communication system is designed and the experimental platform is built. Test results prove that the system can realize short distance wireless data transmission in the underground environment and the communication distance can be extended by increasing the radius of coils and the number of turns. The results indicate the feasibility of underground MIWC,thus providing a paradigm for the application of the WUSNs.
