Submerged LoRa Radio Connectivity Testing Data

This data set contains results from laboratory testing of LoRa radios in submerged environments. For these tests LoRa radios were enclosed in submersible polycarbonate enclosures then immersed in water of varying salinity levels. Data packets were transmitted between two radios, and the received signal strength (RSSI) was logged. The radios were mounted on a rotating fixture to mimic the rotation of a tidal turbine and test the connectivity between the radios at varying distances and orientations. A SolidWorks model of the test setup in included for reference.

A test matrix is included which identifies each of the tests that were conducted. Independent variables include: water salinity (conductivity), antenna type, transmitter power, rotation speed, and packet size.

.bin files contain the raw binary data logged by the receiver
.csv files with no prefix contain the decoded binary data
.csv files with (trimmed) prefix contain trimmed data which only include one test
.csv files with (increment_values) prefix contain the processed average signal strengths for each incremental location in the test
