Abstract
A sensor network may be configured to operate in extreme temperature environments. A sensor may be configured to generate a frequency carrier, and transmit the frequency carrier to a node. The node may be configured to amplitude modulate the frequency carrier, and transmit the amplitude modulated frequency carrier to a receiver.
Claims17
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to generate a frequency carrier;
- and
- at least one node configured to amplitude modulate the frequency carrier, and transmit the amplitude modulated frequency carrier to a receiver.
An apparatus, comprising:
- an amplitude modulator configured to amplify a frequency carrier by an output of a code sequence, wherein a sensor is configured to operate in cold cryogenic temperatures and temperatures over 300° C.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a code sequence generator configured to output a code sequence unique to the apparatus, allowing for a plurality of apparatuses to operate simultaneously, each of the plurality of apparatuses being uniquely recognized by one or more receivers.
