Abstract :
Feasibility of underground data communications by employing magnetic induction is investigated. Realizing an underground wireless sensor network for a district heating plant motivates this research challenge. The main contribution of the paper is finding the optimal designs for coil antennas at the transmitter and receiver sides of a magneto-inductive communication system.
