Design and Simulation of Portable Data Terminal for Agriculture Equipment

A portable data terminal design based on wireless sensor network was came up for agriculture equipment working status monitor, a JN5139 module was used as the hardware core of the terminal and Zigbee as the wireless communication protocol. Effect caused by time-delay and pocket loss was simulated and analyzed with Truetime1.5 under matlab, data acquisition software was developed according to the simulation that effectively reduced the influence. Error measurement test showed the analog average absolute error was 6.33mv and frequency average absolute error was 0.56Hz, that indicated the reliability and availability in agriculture application.
