Abstract
This review offers an extensive examination of the evolving landscape of Long Range (LoRa) Microstrip Patch Antennas (MPAs), highlighting their crucial role in optimizing LoRa systems within the Internet of Things (IoT). As the demand for energy-efficient standards like LoRa grows with the expanding IoT market, this research becomes increasingly relevant. This comprehensive review, the first of its kind, serves as a foundational resource for researchers seeking to optimize LoRa systems within the IoT. The study has categorized these LoRa MPAs – including monopole, Planar Inverted F Antenna (PIFA), dipole, yagi-uda, and array – into single band, dual-band, multiband, and wearable antennas, thus providing substantial viewpoints on their diverse design architectures and performance characteristics. Through systematic tabulation, the review facilitates a thorough comparison of antenna advancements. Notably, the review addresses inherent challenges in LoRa MPAs, emphasizing critical aspects that necessitate attention, including the need for miniaturization and integration, advancements in substrate materials and fabrication techniques, and the imperative for reconfigurable and adaptive antennas. Various approaches to enhance antenna performance are explored, including the metamaterial incorporation, slot-based enhancements, Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG), dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs), substrate material considerations, and corrugation techniques. Looking ahead, the paper explores the future trends and subtle considerations that are poised to shape the trajectory of LoRa MPAs. To the best of our knowledge, this paper represents the first comprehensive review on the multifaceted topic of LoRa MPAs, serving as a foundational resource for researchers in the field.
