Rectenna Design and Signal Optimization for Electromagnetic Energy Harvesting and Wireless Power Transfer

This work addresses two key topics in the field of energy harvesting and wireless power transfer. The first is the optimum signal design for improved RF-DC conversion efficiency in rectifier circuits by using time varying envelope signals. The second is the design of rectifiers that present reduced sensitivity to input power and output load variations by introducing resistance compression netwo...

Electromagnetic Radiation Energy Harvesting – The Rectenna Based Approach

Energy Harvesting for Wireless Autonomous Sensor Systems

All these devices need a compact, low-cost and lightweight energy source, which allows the desired portability and energy autonomy. Today, batteries represent the dominant energy source for the devices listed in Table I and alike. In spite of the fact that energy density of batteries has increased by a factor of 3 over the past 15 years, their presence in many cases has a large impact on, or ev...

Monopole-based Rectenna for Microwave Energy Harvesting of Uhf Rfid Systems

This paper presents a rectifying antenna (rectenna) for the harvesting of the microwave energy associated to UHF (UltraHigh Frequency) Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) systems. The proposed device uses a capacitively loaded T-shaped monopole with a coplanar waveguide feeding line as receiving antenna and a five-stage voltage multiplier as rectifier. Experimental results demonstrating an RF...
