Zeeshan Ali Haq . A Microstrip Patch Antenna Design for RFID Applications in Sensor Network. International Journal of Computer Applications. 158, 9 ( Jan 2017), 13-15. DOI=10.5120/ijca2017912864
In this paper, a microstrip patch antenna design has been proposed to transmit data using ISM band. The antenna is mounted on a sensor node to be used in a sensor network for power efficiency and longevity of the sensor node. The antenna operates at 2.4 GHz providing a high return loss, gain and directivity. The major advantage of using of microstrip patch antenna is low cost and small size which is an inherent parameter of a sensor node. In the proposed design the return loss of -46.843 and directivity of 6.5 dBi is obtained.
