This paper presents the design and characterization of a compact dual-band microstrip antenna for GPS and long range (LoRa) internet of thing (IoT) applications. The antenna operates at 868 MHz and 1.57 GHz and has a gain of 3.35 dBi and 5.08 dBi, respectively. The antenna design is optimized using CST microwave studio software (MWS®), and both simulation and measurement results are in close agreement. The antenna features a directional E-plane and omnidirectional H-plane radiation pattern in each band of operation. The proposed antenna’s compact size and dual-band capability make it suitable for IoT applications that require GPS and LoRa communication in a small form factor. The results presented in this paper demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed antenna design.
