A Design of PCB Antenna for Application BasedWireless Sensor Node

Abstract

In this paper, an antenna has been designed and implemented for wireless sensor node. The antenna element of the proposed node is based on Omni directional PCB (printed circuit board) patch antenna. It uses meandering connecting strip which is optimized to have frequency band operation, between 2.40 to 2.49 GHz for |S11| ≤ -10 dB. This work is a part of development of the wireless sensor node for a specific application. We have designed a dipole antenna suitable for the specific application using FR-4 epoxy glass laminate material, and have presented the simulated result obtained from NEC 4.0V simulation tool. This design has a better power handling capacity. Further, we have implemented this for the wireless sensor node as well.
