Abstract
Wake-up receivers exhibit a wake-up range of few meters while the sensor nodes present a communication range of hundred meters. This gap between wake-up range and communication range limits the use of wake-up receivers with sensor nodes. In this paper, a high gain and compact size microstrip patch array antenna is presented for wake-up receiver in order to increase the wake-up range. The antenna is designed at operating frequency of 2.45 GHz for low loss RT/Duroid 4003C substrate. The fabricated antenna exhibits a gain of 8 dBi while occupies an area of just 64x81 mm\(^{2}\). The measurement results are closely matching with the simulation results.

Antenna efficiency (also known as radiation efficiency or simply efficiency) is a measure of the radiated power (as electromagnetic waves) through antenna to the power fed to antenna terminals.
