Rectenna Design and Signal Optimization for Electromagnetic Energy Harvesting and Wireless Power Transfer
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 network (RCN) structures. key words: rectenna, energy harvesting, wireless power transfer, resistance compression network, rectifier

A Long-Distance RF-Powered Sensor Node with Adaptive Power Management for IoT Applications
We present a self-sustained battery-less multi-sensor platform with RF harvesting capability down to -17 dBm and implementing a standard DASH7 wireless communication interface. The node operates at distances up to 17 m from a 2 W UHF carrier. RF power transfer allows operation when common energy scavenging sources (e.g., sun, heat, etc.) are not available, while the DASH7 communication protocol...
متن کاملAn Investigation of Wideband Rectennas for Wireless Energy Harvesting
This paper is focused on a wireless energy harvesting system using a rectifying antenna (rectenna). The proposed device consists of a wideband cross-dipole antenna, a microwave low-pass filter and a doubling rectifying circuit using Shottcky diodes as rectifying elements. Previously, a few of wideband rectennas have been investigated at 1.7 to 2.5 GHz. The originality of this paper is on the ne...

متن کاملIndoor Wireless RF Energy Transfer for Powering Wireless Sensors
For powering wireless sensors in buildings, rechargeable batteries may be used. These batteries will be recharged remotely by dedicated RF sources. Far-field RF energy transport is known to suffer from path loss and therefore the RF power available on the rectifying antenna or rectenna will be very low. As a consequence, the RF-toDC conversion efficiency of the rectenna will also be very low. B...
