Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>ABSTRACT</title> <p>A meander dipole antenna for a sensor node of a wireless sensor network is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of a dipole element, the matching steps, and a circuit using lumped elements. We compared two antennas with and without a matching circuit. The antenna has a simple structure, high gain, and omnidirectional radiation patterns. Details of the proposed antenna design and experimental results are presented and discussed. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 56:1526–1531, 2014</p> </abstract>
