The internet of things is becoming more mainstream, it’s increasingly important to be able to send tiny bits of information from sensors over long distances while keeping their power usage low. And an effective solution for that is a Long Range Wide Area Network. This paper presents the design of a microstrip patch antenna operating in the 868Mhz LoRa frequency band with a gain of 2.31 dB and VSWR of 1.19.
