    This research proposes a dual-band LoRa elliptical patch antenna for the LoRa communication system to detect waterborne microplastics. The proposed LoRa communication system comprises a LoRa sensor node board and an IoT-LoRa gateway board. The LoRa sensor node board is used to capture microplastic images using a digital camera and collect analog signal data from an 8 × 8 photodiode array which detects the reflected light from microplastic fragments. The data are transmitted using a LoRa elliptical patch antenna in the sensor node board, operating at 0.915 GHz for long-range data transfer. The IoT-LoRa gateway board is used to forward data received from the LoRa sensor node board to a cloud server via the internet, and the stored data are accessible and viewable via a smartphone. In this research, the antenna design is optimized by using machine learning (ML) algorithms, unlike conventional antenna design methods which rely on the manual and iterative process. The ML-optimized dual-band LoRa elliptical patch antenna covers the LoRa, UHF RFID, and ZigBee frequency bands, with an omnidirectional radiation pattern. The measured impedance bandwidths (IBWs) are 8.93% (0.868–0.949 GHz) and 12.69% (2.36–2.68 GHz) for the lower and upper frequency bands, respectively, with the corresponding impedance matching (|S<inf>11</inf>|) of –23.02 dB at 0.907 GHz and −27.27 dB at 2.52 GHz. Two ML-optimized LoRa elliptical patch antennas are subsequently integrated into the LoRa communication system, that is, one on the LoRa sensor node board and other on the IoT-LoRa gateway board. Furthermore, prior to indoor and outdoor experiments, the ML-driven waterborne microplastic detection scheme with the LoRa communication system is trained and tested using camera-captured images and analog signal-converted images from the photodiode array. The ML-driven microplastic detection scheme can classify different types of microplastics in water, achieving an accuracy of 100% for all types of microplastics. The detection scheme is also capable of identifying the presence of microplastics in water, achieving an overall accuracy of 98.5%. The originality of this work lies in the use of ML algorithm to optimize the antenna design and to streamline identification and detection of microplastics in water.

    This research proposes a 2.4 GHz T-slot antennas-embedded ZigBee wireless sensor network system, consisting of an Internet of Things (IoT) gateway board and a sensor node board, for IoT applications. Simulations were first carried out to optimize the parameters for the T-shaped slot patch antenna. The prototypes of the IoT gateway and sensor node boards were subsequently fabricated and measurements undertaken. The measured impedance matching (|S11|), bandwidth, and gain of the proposed ZigBee sensor network system were -18 dB, 15.38%, and 1.722 dBi, respectively. Furthermore, the ZigBee IoT-based monitoring and control schemes based on the ZigBee wireless sensor network system were set up and experiments carried out in an enclosed area for the monitoring scheme and in an open area for the control scheme. The experimental results revealed that the proposed IoT-enabled 2.4 GHz ZigBee sensor network system with embedded T-slot patch antennas could efficiently be utilized in IoT-based monitoring and control systems. In essence, the novelty of this research lies in the integration of the IoT and ZigBee sensor network technologies to store data in a cloud server in a real-time fashion, as opposed to in the microcontroller memory which is common in conventional ZigBee systems. In addition, the data stored in the cloud server are retrievable and viewable via the Blynk application on smartphone, rendering the proposed 2.4 GHz T-slot antennas-embedded ZigBee wireless sensor network system operationally suitable for IoT-based monitoring and control systems.
