The SM can report power consumption to the control\ncenter automatically via a communication link. An antenna is a\nkey component to indicate an effective communication system. The\nmicrostrip antenna (MSA) works based on the unidirectional radiation pattern. The advantages of MSA are its light weight, small\nsize, and ability to be easily etched on a print circuit board. These\nadvantages are needed for the SM communication because SMs\nare installed on electric poles that have limited space. In this pa-\nper, we implement the MSA for SM communication on LoRaWAN\ntechnology that operates at a frequency of 920\u2013925 MHz in Thailand. The proposed MSA is used to design a new path loss model\nfor LoRaWAN in urban areas. Results show that our MSA is effectively close to commercial antennas in a 2.2 km range, with the\npacket delivery ratio reaching 52.93%. We analyze the results by\nusing a mathematical equation that includes the free space model,\nthe Okumura\u2013Hata model, root mean squared error, and coefficient of determination.<\/h5>\n<h5>Full text:  <a class=\"fas fa-file-pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/els-journal.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2022-26-1-02.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.scopus.com\/inward\/citedby.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&#038;doi=10.53314\/ELS2226009W&#038;origin=inward\" ref=\"scopus-citedby\" rel=\"noopener\"><image src=\"http:\/\/api.elsevier.com\/content\/abstract\/citation-count?doi=10.53314\/ELS2226009W&#038;httpAccept=image%2Fjpeg&#038;apiKey=87124910cd33413b75b0a6f4e70d58bd\" border=\"0\" alt=\"cited by count\"\/><\/a>\n\n\n\n\nGoogle Scholar Citations <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"fas fa-external-link-alt\" href=\"http:\/\/scholar.google.com\/scholar?hl=en&#038;lr=&#038;cites=http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.53314\/ELS2226009W\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n\n<center> <span class=\"__dimensions_badge_embed__\" data-doi=\"10.53314\/ELS2226009W\" data-style=\"small_circle\"><\/span> <\/center> <script async src=\"https:\/\/badge.dimensions.ai\/badge.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n\n<center>Google Scholar Citations <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"fas fa-external-link-alt\" href=\"http:\/\/scholar.google.com\/scholar?hl=en&#038;lr=&#038;cites=http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.53314\/ELS2125065A\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/center>\n\n\n\n\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.scopus.com\/inward\/citedby.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&#038;doi=10.53314\/ELS2226009W&#038;origin=inward\" ref=\"scopus-citedby\" rel=\"noopener\"><image src=\"http:\/\/api.elsevier.com\/content\/abstract\/citation-count?doi=10.53314\/ELS2226009W&#038;httpAccept=image%2Fjpeg&#038;apiKey=87124910cd33413b75b0a6f4e70d58bd\" border=\"0\" alt=\"cited by count\"\/><\/a>\n\n\n\n\n<center><span class=\"__dimensions_badge_embed__\" data-doi=\"10.53314\/ELS2226009W\" data-style=\"large_rectangle\"><\/span><\/center><script async src=\"https:\/\/badge.dimensions.ai\/badge.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":467,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-478","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/els-journal.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/478","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/els-journal.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/els-journal.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/els-journal.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/els-journal.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=478"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/els-journal.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/478\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":529,"href":"https:\/\/els-journal.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/478\/revisions\/529"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/els-journal.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/467"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/els-journal.net\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
