| description | This study details the design and implementation of a high-gain Yagi-Uda antenna network for the transmission of real-time monitoring data from the Misti Volcano to the city of Arequipa. As Misti is classified as a high-risk volcano due to its active volcanic nature and the close proximity of nearly one million inhabitants, the current monitoring infrastructure is insufficient to meet the demands of effective surveillance. In response, this project integrates Internet of Things (IoT) technology, the LoRa (Long Range) network, and an optimized seven-element Yagi-Uda antenna, developed using advanced optimization algorithms to enhance transmission efficiency. The primary objective is to facilitate the reliable collection and transmission of critical sensor data for subsequent analysis by volcanological experts, thereby supporting improved prediction and mitigation of potential volcanic hazards. Field tests have demonstrated that the Yagi-Uda antenna, when coupled with LoRa technology, achieved uninterrupted data transmission over a distance of 16 km. The integration of IoT, LoRa, and the optimized antenna design offers a scalable and resilient solution for the continuous monitoring and risk assessment of Misti, enabling the incorporation of advanced high-precision sensors for enhanced surveillance capabilities. |
