Using Wireless Sensor Network Performance and Optimizing in Underground Mines with Virtual MIMO Antenna

Wireless sensor networks rely heavily on battery power for continuous operation, making energy efficiency a critical factor in their longevity. To address this challenge, a novel architectural system known as Virtual MIMO has been developed. Virtual MIMO operates in conjunction with traditional MIMO technology and holds the potential to establish an energy-efficient network. Leveraging the synergistic benefits of Virtual MIMO, which include enhanced system generalization and energy conservation, it becomes possible to employ MIMO technology within a single antenna system. This paper primarily centers on the utilization of Virtual MIMO to prolong the lifespan of wireless sensor networks while minimizing energy consumption. Alongside various S-parameters, the research reveals varying return loss values in decibels (dB) at different frequencies, such as S21, S22, S11, and S12. In summary, Virtual MIMO techniques play a pivotal role in the creation of efficient wireless sensor networks and offer a means to optimize their overall performance.
