Abstract

This paper presents the design of a novel radiated sources monitoring system. With the lightweight and global positioning features, the implemented wireless radiation detection node can easily be deployed to discover unusual or abnormal radioactivity and map the events. ZigBee-based multi-hop mesh communication is adopted between radiated detection nodes. For every node in within the network, there is at least one other node for communication. This multi-hop network structure can pave better network connectivity and self-healing ability than traditional star pattern. Thus, on-field deployment can be easily implemented, and the application of the system can be promoted.
