“…In Addepalli et al, 21 the suggested antenna offers a significantly smaller bandwidth, and the isolation between antenna elements is below −15 dB, which is relatively low compared to the proposed antenna. In Mirzababaee et al, 23 the antenna does not show MIMO characteristics and reconfigurability. The antenna size is enormous in Takhedmit et al 32 and Haboubi et al, 33 and the harvested output voltage is 150 and 189 mV at −15 dBm, which is quite low than the proposed work.…”

SummaryThis article introduces a novel and groundbreaking approach combining multiple‐input‐multiple‐output (MIMO) technology with radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting. The proposed antenna consists of two semi‐circular monopole antenna components, optimized with dimensions of 89 × 51.02 × 1.6 mm3, that share a common ground plane to achieve MIMO characteristics. A series of split‐ring resonators on the ground plane significantly enhances the isolation between the two radiating components. Band‐notched features are performed in the 3.5 GHz WiMAX and 5.5 GHz WLAN bands through modified C‐shaped slots in the radiating patch and two rectangular split‐ring resonators serving as parasitic devices near the feed line. The reconfiguration of band‐notching is made possible by controlling the modes of the embedded PIN diodes. The two antenna elements maintain mutual coupling below −18 dB from 1.5–13 GHz, achieving an impressive 158.62% impedance bandwidth. The antenna's efficiency and gain experience significant drop, indicating effective interference suppression at the center frequencies of the notch bands, and its performance in MIMO systems is assessed through parameters including envelope correlation coefficient, port isolation, radiation patterns, efficiency, gain, and diversity gain. The simulated properties of the designed antenna closely align with the measured outcomes, demonstrating its reliability and consistency. Moreover, the article evaluates the antenna's potential for RF energy harvesting, achieving a maximum harvested energy of 4.88 V. This proposed antenna can be used in multiple applications, like wideband, band‐notching MIMO, and RF energy harvesting. This proposed antenna is an efficient, reconfigurable wideband MIMO antenna with novel RF energy harvesting capability.

“…[72] A high PCE value is preferable, but it is limited by power losses due to leakage currents and parasitic RLC components, which are unavoidable in real-life applications. Recent articles investigating the maximum power conversion efficiency of EH/PT rectennas report the highest PCE values above 60% [73][74][75] with a peak value of 85% [76] using conventional PCB technology.…”

The Internet of Things is currently one of the fastest-growing branches in electronics. The development of energy storage systems and the miniaturization of dedicated printed circuit boards significantly influence that growth. However, the need for batteries and traditional printed circuit boards still limits devices' minimum size, weight, and cost, narrowing the application area. Energy harvesters and wireless power transfer systems fabricated with printed electronics can significantly reduce such devices' weight, size, and cost. Printed electronics technology provides scalable tools for many electronics applications, shortening the validation time and enabling new low-cost or disposable solutions on lightweight and flexible substrates embedded inside 3D printed structures and directly on device housings. Energy harvesting and wireless power transfer systems in electronic devices can provide enough power to minimize battery capacity and size or even eliminate the need for batteries in low-power applications. This review presents an adaptation of printed electronics technology in the fabrication of radio frequency energy harvesters and wireless power transfer rectennas for IoT applications. Last, perspectives for development towards greater integration with microsystems, transient electronics with ecofriendly materials, adaptation for next-generation telecommunication systems, and 3D structural electronics solutions are briefly discussed.

“…The IMN adjusts the impedance between the receiving antenna and the rectifier circuit. In the absence of IMN, all the energy received by the system will be reflected, causing a decreased amount of rectified output current obtained by the load [15]. The RF signals are then transferred from the IMN to the rectifier circuit for radio frequency waves to direct current (RF-DC) conversion, before being supplied to the load.…”

The rapid growth of wireless technology has improved the network’s technology from 4G to 5G, with sub-6 GHz being the centre of attention as the primary communication spectrum band. To effectively benefit this exclusive network, the improvement in the mm-wave detection of this range is crucial. In this work, a silicon self-switching device (SSD) based full-wave bridge rectifier was proposed as a candidate for a usable RF-DC converter in this frequency range. SSD has a similar operation to a conventional pn junction diode, but with advantages in fabrication simplicity where it does not require doping and junctions. The optimized structure of the SSD was cascaded and arranged to create a functional full-wave bridge rectifier with a quadratic relationship between the input voltage and outputs current. AC transient analysis and theoretical calculation performed on the full-wave rectifier shows an estimated cut-off frequency at ~12 GHz, with calculated responsivity and noise equivalent power of 1956.72 V/W and 2.3753 pW/Hz1/2, respectively. These results show the capability of silicon SSD to function as a full-wave bridge rectifier and is a potential candidate for RF-DC conversion in the targeted 5G frequency band and can be exploited for future energy harvesting application.
