Abstract

The rapid growth of wireless communication demands within Internet of Things (IoT) applications requires antennas that exhibit high efficiency, compact dimensions, and reliable performance in the UHF band. This study aims to design, simulate, fabricate, and evaluate the performance of a helical antenna operating at 435 MHz, with its results compared against a slot antenna. The design process was conducted using CST Studio Suite with parameter optimization to achieve an optimal configuration. The prototype was fabricated using copper wire as the radiating element and an aluminum ground plane. Experimental testing was carried out with a UHF Antenna Demonstrator, followed by validation through a 433 MHz RF module integrated with Arduino. The simulation results indicated that the optimized helical antenna achieved aVoltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.8 and a gain of 11.5 dBi. In contrast, the measurement results demonstrated improved performance, with a VSWR of 1.05, a return loss of −32.4 dB, and a bandwidth of 41 MHz. Comparative analysis revealed that the helical antenna outperformed the slot antenna in terms of efficiency, directional radiation pattern, and transmission distance, reaching up to 25 m compared to 15 m for the slot antenna. These findings confirm that the helical antenna is a more suitable and effective solution for UHF IoT communication systems, providing reliable performance for modern wireless applications.

Abstract

Tidal dynamics play a crucial role in coastal processes, port operations, and coastal management, particularly in regions characterized by complex oceanographic interactions such as Bintan Island, Riau Islands Province, Indonesia. This study analyzes the spatial variability of tidal characteristics in the coastal waters of Bintan Island at three observation sites, namely Bakau Bay, Tanjung Uban Port, and Moco Port, using global tidal prediction data generated by MIKE Powered by DHI and harmonic analysis based on the Admiralty method. Eight principal tidal constituents (M₂, S₂, K₁, O₁, N₂, P₁, K₂, and Q₁) were examined, and tidal types were classified using the Formzahl number. The results reveal clear spatial variability in tidal harmonic characteristics despite the close geographic proximity of the sites, with the M₂ constituent dominating tidal behavior at all locations, indicating strong lunar control. Significant contributions from diurnal constituents (K₁ and O₁) result in mixed tidal regimes, with Formzahl values of 1.10 at Bakau Bay, 0.66 at Tanjung Uban, and 1.29 at Moco, classifying all sites as mixed tides with a predominance of semidiurnal components. Variations in tidal amplitudes are closely related to local coastal morphology and exposure to open waters, with Tanjung Uban exhibiting the strongest tidal influence. This multi-location analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of spatial tidal variability in Bintan coastal waters and supports coastal planning, port management, and hydrodynamic modeling in the region.
