Design and implementation of a bioinspired leaf shaped hybrid rectenna as a green energy manufacturing concept

In this communication, the novel low cost hybrid energy harvester combining rectifying antenna with solar cell for feeding power systems are reported. The bioinspired leaf shaped monopole is designed to work in most used communication frequency bands such as GSM-1800, UMTS-2100, WIFI-2.45 and LTE-2.65 GHz harvesting purposes microstrip pass filter also added on line second harmonic rejection increasing efficiency of harvester. placed ground plane using volumetric space efficiently obtain a more compact system. implemented prototype generate 76 mV, 120 mV 90 when same type receiver feed from 25 dBm RF source located at distance 1 m which satisfies far field condition without 2.15 GHz, 2.45 2.65 bands, respectively. After illumination its component 165 lux, total harvested voltages measured 150 170 190
