title = "Enhancing the Efficiency of IoT Devices by Ground Plane Shaping with Antenna Boosters",
abstract = "The use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has increased exponentially in recent years, with antennas playing a crucial role in their performance. As these devices rely on data exchange through antenna systems, enhancing antenna efficiency directly impacts battery consumption. This study investigates whether modifying the ground plane of a IoT device improves both bandwidth and efficiency in the 824 \textbackslash{}mathrm\{MHz\}-960 MHz band. It demonstrates that reshaping the ground plane, particularly by implementing a U-shaped modification, improves current distribution, resulting in a 2.3 dB efficiency increase. Two comparative analyses are also carried out: one in a multiband scenario and another in the extended low band (700-960 MHz), to determine the better ground plane configuration for each scenario.",
