Data Resolution Optimisation to Address Wireless Connectivity in Infrasound Measurement Systems.

Addressing wireless connectivity of infrasound sensor arrays in a continuous sensing operating scheme is a challenging task regarding channel capacity, legal limitations on ISM bands and required ranges. A decrease of the system throughput appears necessary. This paper discusses key trades on data radio transmission considering measurement constraints. We propose a self-noise analysis of a measurement system at the design stage. We demonstrate that an optimization of the samples resolution is possible, based on the effective number of bits of the system, achieving up to 20% reduction of the payload to transmit.
