Abstract:	The efficient integration of wireless communication technologies into IoT applications is essential to ensuring seamless and reliable access to application data. In this context, the present paper proposes a dual-band meander-shaped patch antenna, specifically designed for IoT applications. The proposed antenna supports operation across the WLAN, 4G, and 5G frequency bands, with resonant frequencies centered around 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The design is implemented on a Rogers RT-5880 substrate, and all simulations and optimizations are performed using CST Microwave Studio (CST MWS). The antenna features compact dimensions of 20 × 10 × 1.57 mm³ (equivalent to 0.16 × 0.08 × 0.01λ₃ at 2.4 GHz). The proposed antenna's effectiveness was assessed through a comprehensive evaluation combining numerical simulations and experimental prototyping. Its performance outcomes were further benchmarked against contemporary designs reported in recent literature. Distinguished by its miniaturized geometry, straightforward integration into electronic platforms, cost-effectiveness, and manufacturability, the antenna demonstrates strong potential for deployment in advanced Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructures.
