    Data Loss
AI Thread Summary
Transceiver data loss during transmission is not solely dependent on data rate; interference can cause more data loss in faster links during brief disruptions. For a project involving wireless transmission of sensor data over 300 meters, the choice of transceiver is crucial. Options like 433.92 MHz modules are recommended for their affordability and legality in certain regions. If the user has experience with electronics, integrating a Picaxe chip can simplify data collection with its built-in A to D conversion capabilities. Overall, selecting the right transceiver and understanding the project requirements are key to minimizing data loss.

Hi! Recently I done some survey on transceiver, may I know if a transceiver which data rate is 1.2kbps and a transceiver with data rate 19kbps, which transceiver will loss more data during transmit?
Can anyone recommend me a suitable transceiver?(data rate high, loss of data low)
thanks!
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
The loss rate shouldn't depend on the data rate
If there is some noise which causes a loss of connection then for a given time the faster link will lose more data, ie. if the interference lasts for 0.1sec then one link will lose 120bits while the other will lose 1900bits.
On the other hand if you need to transmit a certain amount of data then the faster link will allow you to send it more often or to send more error correction bits.
 
Neither will lose any data if the transmission path is loss free.

Handshaking is usually included and this keeps checking to see if the transmission was received OK. This is done with checksums.

If there are losses, the transmission is sent again. Doing this slows the process down, but unless conditions are very bad, the faster system should still work out faster than the slow one, especially if the faster one is 16 times as fast as the slow one as in your example.

Can't suggest any transceivers as you haven't explained what you want to do. Probably couldn't anyway.
 
thanks a lot! What I want to do is to transmit data from sensors such as pressure,temperature by wireless transceiver to my computer, and the distance between my computer and those sensors more than 300m.
 
It matters how much of the project you can do yourself.
If you are not too familiar with electronics and sensor interfacing, A to D converters and computer programming, you may have to look for a commercial data logger module.

If you have experience with these things, there are 433.92 MHz transmit / receive modules which are quite legal in some countries and are available cheaply. These could provide the data radio link.

Actually collecting the data would be easy with a Picaxe chip.
I suggest you Google this. These cpu chips that have precision A to D converter inputs and Ascii outputs. Ideal for your job.

Here is some more info about Picaxe chips :

This is fun stuff to do.

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
