Title
Magneto-Inductive Underground Communications In A District Heating System
Abstract
Feasibility of underground data communications is investigated by employing magnetic induction as the key technology at physical layer. Realizing an underground wireless sensor network for a district heating plant motivates this research problem. The main contribution of the paper is to find the optimal design for transmitter and receiver coil antennas, assuming pre-defined wire gauge and length at both sides. Analytical results show that the transmitter coil should have the smallest possible radius while the converse is true for the receiver coil.
