IoT application using a unique rectangular 2.4GHz microstrip patch antenna

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT)-based applications must be integrated with wireless communication technologies for this make application data easily accessible. The wireless communication system is a crucial component of IoT infrastructure, serving as a bridge for bidirectional connection for data gathering and control message delivery. In this article, a modified meander form microstrip patch antenna for IoT applications in 2.4 GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) band is suggested.The suggested antenna has a gain of up to 4.01 dBi and an efficiency of up to 90% directivity up to 7.14. Theperformance after simulation of this antenna that is combined with a 2.4GHz radio frequency module and IoT sensors. Having small size and high fractional bandwidth which gives a good performance in IoT application. The patch's length width is 30.2 mm, and its length 47mm at a resonance frequency of 2.4 GHz is 38 mm, with a feeding offset position of 6 mm. The substrate has a height of 1.5 mm that appropriate for short-range IoT applications.
