Antenna Design and Non Linear Simulation of Rectifier for Wideband and Multi-Tone Radio Frequency Energy Harvesting

Authors

Abstract:

In this paper, a wideband rectenna without using matching networks is presented. In addition of wide bandwidth, the omnidirectional radiation pattern, maximum radio frequency to dc conversion efficiency, harvesting capability of the minimum input power level, easy fabrication process cause this antenna be a good choice for radio frequency energy harvesting applications. Matching network has been eliminated and the antenna structure has been used to match with rectifier for energy harvesting with maximum efficiency. Based on the minimum input power level, two different structures have been suggested as the rectenna. The suggestive model meets proper efficiency within the frequency band of 1.71-2.5GHz and harvests the input power levels of 0dBm and -5dBm by implementing the two proposed structures with the maximum efficiencies of 74 and 68%, respectively. The multi-tone state has been also investigated which indicated the maximum obtained efficiencies of about 42 and 44% for the 2- and 3-tone modes, respectively.
