Design and Performance Analysis of LoRa LPWAN Antenna for IoT Applications

摘要

Internet of Things (IoT) as the name implies, is an array of devices that communicate via internet. IoT system integrates four specific segments i.e. sensors/devices, connectivity, data processing and a user interface. Modern IoT devices need various options in terms of connectivity. As IoT applications need low data rates Long Range (LoRa) , a advanced wireless standards for Low Power Wide-AreaNetwork (LPWAN) very well caters this need. This paper proposes a microstrip patch antenna operating at 433 MHz for Low Power Wide-Area-Network with FR4(lossy) as substrate and dimensions of the patch are 82.295mm*105.41 mm. The paper aims for improvement in efficiency and gain with two Tshaped slot cut on the ground. The Simulation has been performed using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) studio suite.
