In this project, the RFM69HCW which is 433MHz RF Module version that has been used. It is because can operates in the unlicensed ISM (Industry Science and Medicine) radio band. It’s available for using in the inexpensive area for a short range wireless networks of sensors. This types can operates on the 433MHz frequency and can capable of transmitting at up to 100mW and up to 300kbps. When increasing the transmit power and reducing the data rate it can maximize the range of the 433MHz.
Literature review is an important step before proceed to the project. Collecting all the required information about the 433MHz RF module from the books, journals and website. The literature review also can provide a useful information to complete the project. The idea for this project comes from the problem faced when the data that have been transmitted becomes losses with the range that provided. In this chapter it will be explained more details about all the flow and also the components that will be used in this project.
The frequency of 433MHz that used in the wireless sensor network can test the sending and receiving the data for this range. 433MHz RF Modules required the 17cm of the antenna to support the range to send the data. Range is the one of the most important parameter of any wireless system which is it defined how the transmitter and receiver can be apart from each other. 433MHz RF Modules are used to build the wireless connection between two points. For the outside with few obstacles the data can go through hundreds meters. While for the indoor, the data can go for over 50 meters through multiple walls. The external antenna will be soldering to the “ANT” on the transmitter to get more range which is 17cm of the length for the antenna.
