INTRODUCTION
A wireless sensor network is a collection
of wireless sensors covering a small area.
Every sensor
performs
independent
sensing processing and transmission of
data over wireless link with minimum
power consumption.
These include low-energy signaling and
networking

SENSOR NETWORK

Gateway
sensor
node

SENSOR NODE
A sensor node, also known as a mote
It is a node in a wireless sensor network
that is capable of performing some
processing, gathering sensory information
and communication with gateway sensor
node

POWER AWARENESS FROM

RADIO HARDWARE
The functionality of both transmitter and receiver are
combined into a single device know as transceiver are
used in sensor nodes.
The operational states are transmit ,receive , idle and
sleep
Low Voltage Operation
1.8V minimum supply

MICROCONTROLLER :Here we use ultra low power

microcontroller (eg Texas MSP430 )
1.8V power supply
Active power 6mW
Sleep power 3w
Zero-power Brown Out Reset (BOR)
<6 s clock startup time
<50 nA pin leakage current

SYSTEM PARTITIONING

APPLICATIONS
Environmental sensing
Home automation
Security & military surveillance
Industrial control & monitoring
Health care
Agriculture field

Real Time Application(A Low-Power Wireless

Sensor for Online Ambient Monitoring
)

ADVANTAGES

Low cost
Low power
Small size
Fast operation
Reduce of man power

DISADVANTAGES
Short communication distance
Its damn easy for hackers to hack
Comparatively low speed of communication

CONCLUSION
In human life a sensor network may be the
powerful tool, because they can be
deployed at the places where a man can
not reach
