This study proposes a rectangular microstrip patch antenna design using a shorting pin to get bandwidth enhancement and size reduced. Shorting pin is used in the patch and located next to the position of the coaxial feed point. The design is simulated using an EM Simulator. The final design of the antenna has a dimension of 40.5 mm x 32.1 mm (reduced by 26.62%). The simulation result shows the antenna has a minimum return loss of -16.9206 dB with a bandwidth of 146.1 MHz. The use of shorting pin increases the bandwidth by 123%. The gain of the antenna is 3.4733 dBi with a directional radiation pattern. The proposed antenna is suitable for operating in the LTE band 40 to support IoT applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
