This paper reports on sets of measurements conducted in a potential precision farming site where there are mixed types of crops which would affect signal strength and link quality of WSNs. We observed insignificant differences in signal strength between antenna heights of 0.5 m and 1m for a flat open grass field. However a significant reduction in signal strength was observed in the presence of thick vegetation on the farmland which limited coverage to only 10 m range. In addition the range of WSN coverage is also reduced to about 16 m for measurements in a greenhouse with grape trellis canopy. This is contrary to enhancements of received signal strength by lateral waves propagating along the canopy reported by other researchers [8]. The paper also provides a comparison in network coverage for the same type of vegetation in greenhouse and outdoor environment. 2012-05-10T09:14:00Z 2012-05-10T09:14:00Z 2011-09-20 Working Paper p. 346-350 978-076954562-2 http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6076383 http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/19121 en Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Computational Intelligence, Modelling and Simulation (CIMSim) 2011 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
