A doctoral thesis at the University of Basra discusses the design and implementation of printed antennas for use in Internet of Things applications A doctoral thesis was discussed at the College of Engineering at the University of Basra: Design and implementation of printed antennas for use in Internet of Things applications. Researcher Doaa Hakim Abdel Zahra’s thesis included designing, implementing, and manufacturing small antennas for Internet of Things applications. These antennas are intended to provide omnidirectional radiation characteristics with reasonable gain and large communications range. Single-band antennas are designed in frequency bands commonly used for IoT applications namely the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band and the 915 MHz Ultra High Frequency (UHF) band. In addition, two additional multi-band antenna designs were implemented. The resulting designs have sufficient gain and almost perfect matching at different resonant frequencies. The designs were compared to some previous important IoT antennas. Comparison results show that the proposed antennas provide an excellent balance between size reduction and antenna gain values within the operational range.
