Design, Simulation and Fabrication of LoRa Antenna for Military Application

Abstract

Maintaining dependable and long-range communication is essential for success in today's military operations. This research fills a fundamental demand by offering a unique design for a dual-band LoRa (Long-Range) antenna system specially tailored for military applications. Our goal is to reach the best possible performance regarding bandwidth, radiation pattern, and gain to satisfy the demanding needs of military communication. Electromagnetic modelling is used extensively in the design process. We present a dual-band LoRa antenna that functions within the exact frequency ranges used in military communication, which we have refined through iterative simulations. This focused strategy maximizes performance while guaranteeing compatibility with current infrastructure. After design optimization, an antenna prototype is made. Through extensive testing and validation methods, the antenna confirms its real-world functioning. The outcomes thoroughly assess how well the suggested design performs in providing the low-power, long-range communication capabilities required for military applications. In the end, our study offers a high-performance dual-band LoRa antenna and advances military communication technology by providing a solution suited to the industry's particular requirements.
