Abstract

This article contemplates a qualitative analysis of the operation of a Curved Planar Dipole Antenna, of the line meander type and its applicability in the Internet of Things (IoT). Technology originated in the midst of the intelligent technological development of the current period, considered as the Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0 and marked by the improvement of systems that promote automation of tasks, control and data sharing in wireless networks in real time. IoT is associated with facilitated connectivity between the physical and digital world through the internet or miniaturized elements, generating optimization in the manufacturing and routine processes. Particularly, planar antennas stand out in this regard, as they provide the transmission or reception of signals by means of electromagnetic waves, have low manufacturing cost, small volume and weight and are built according to the desired purpose. Thus, the proposed objective was to design, simulate and analyze a meander line antenna that operates in the 2.4GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) frequency range, verifying its effectiveness in the IoT. However, with the aid of the HFSS® software, satisfactory results regarding the resonance frequency and radiation diagram of the studied device are obtained in a computer simulation environment.
