Design of RF transceiver with CC1100 chip for wireless data acquisition

In this paper, we describe a design of the hardware interface and communication process of a wireless data acquisition system using a monolithic CC1100 chip working with a PIC16Fxxx MCU. The design has been applied to collect data during the transportation of petroleum products in the petrochemical industry. The fault tolerance problem in the one-to-many data communication is solved. This paper also presents the solutions for design problems in the application.
