Abstract

The chapter devoted studying some characteristics of signal used in receiving devices by LoRa technology. The main feature of this technology relates the ability to build wireless networks for transmitting short messages over long distances under the condition of the long-life battery. Our investigation focused on the impact of interference on the functioning of the receiving set. With this purpose, we studied the basic characteristics of the received radio signal, its frequency properties, the possibilities of spreading the spectrum, encoding and recovering the transmitted information, receiving a packet of individual pulse signals and the quality of packet processing as a whole, and the effect of multipath propagation. We also proposed an approach for studying a receiver in highly populated areas with an estimate of the calculating and experimental data. To check the quality of processing the received information the studies were carried out according to the “point-to-point” and “point-gateway” schemes under the remote server. The test results follow.
