Low-weight wireless sensor node for animal encounter detection and dual-band localization

In this paper the feasibility of encounter detection and simultaneous localization of bats in their natural habitat is demonstrated. Furthermore a compact design of an enhanced mobile node exhibiting a weight of only 1.85 g is presented. The new design allows for an increased robustness of the localization by implementing dual-band signal transmission at 2.4GHz and in the sub-gigahertz range. The prolongation of operation time up to 14 days and beyond is discussed in detail.
