| Abstract: | Purpose – This paper aims to describe the simulation, design, development and characterisation of antennas for wireless sensor networks operating in a variety of environments, including an under water submarine application and more usual “open air” deployments. Design/methodology/approach – The experimental test methodology, fixtures, conditions and results used to characterize the performance of these antennas (both state of the art commercially available and those developed in-house) are presented. Findings – The underwater test results show a near omni-directional pattern about the three principal axes, thus showing that a spherical field has been achieved for localisation purposes (with a certain loss of resolution). Originality/value – The paper focuses on the development of a new antenna scheme to enable under water communications between robotic agents. |
