Monopole-based Rectenna for Microwave Energy Harvesting of Uhf Rfid Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
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-to-DC conversion efficiency of about 54% with an input power density of 80μW/cm2 will be presented and discussed.

Lifecycle Extension of Long Range UHF RFID Tags based on Energy Harvesting
Recently applications of UHF RFID systems are often requiring sensing and monitoring capabilities on the transponder side as well as long operating ranges (long range sensor tag). Such functionality results in a high energy consumption of the tag on the one hand but also requires an uninterrupted energy supply on the other hand. This is not achievable with reader-powered passive UHF RFID System...
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 کاملA 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...
