“…The proposed rectifier is designed on a single HSMS-2850 Schottky diode (with SOT-323 circuit layout). The diode is a promising candidate for low-power RF applications with a minimal junction capacitance of 0.18 pF and a minimum sensitive voltage of 150 mV at 0.1 mA [38]- [39].…”

In this paper, a long-range dual-band rectenna for harvesting ambient radio frequency (RF) energy from GSM/900 and GSM/1800 is presented. Theoretical analysis of the proposed dual-band impedance matching network (IMN) is conducted using a modified Π-section matching network (MN). The RF-rectifier is integrated with a dual-band inverted-F monopole antenna. The rectenna circuit complexity is minimized by introducing a dual-band IMN, which plays a significant role in improving the harvester RF-to-dc power conversion efficiency (PCE). Measurement results of the proposed design achieved a peak RF-to-dc PCE of 12.93% and 8.0% for an input power of -30 dBm at 0.9 GHz, and 1.8 GHz, respectively. The RF harvester ambiance measurement attained an output dc voltage of 0.374 V. The circuit generates 0.747 V using a low-powered bq25504-674 evaluation module (EVM). Thus, adequate energy management of the proposed rectenna can be used to power many low-powered devices from the harvested ambient RF energy.INDEX TERMS RF energy harvesting (RFEH); impedance matching network (IMN); power conversion efficiency (PCE); rectenna.

A new multiband circular polarized rectenna is implemented as a radio frequency (RF) power harvesting system tuned for the quad bands of 1.8 GHz (GSM 1800), 2.4/5.8 GHz (WLAN), and 3.6 GHz (WiMAX). An innovative monopole antenna is made for the rectenna; consisting of an octagonal shaped microstrip patch, loaded with an I-shaped rectangular slot and three L-shaped stubs so that the antenna creates circular polarization at the quad bands. The second part of the rectenna is a multi-frequency impedance matching network (IMN) set between the antenna and the rectifier circuit. The IMN includes some parallel shunt stepped impedance stubs (SIS), which provides eight-band matching network and connected to the rectifier, functioning at the frequen-

“…Researchers have investigated several solutions to improve the efficiency of the rectenna circuit. They proposed different kinds of rectennas from a single band topology 1 to multiband 2‐4 and broad‐band 5 topologies. Different other configurations of rectennas have been designed depending on the type of the antenna (monopole, 6 dipole, 1 fractal, 7 and circular patch 4 ) or the rectifier circuit topology (single shunt, 1 single series, 2 Villard doubler, 1 and full wave Greinacher 5 ).…”

This article describes a novel rectifying-antenna design with extended input power range operating at 2.4 GHz for both ambient wireless energy harvesting and wireless power transmission (WPT) systems. The rectenna consists of a 2 × 2 fractal antenna array and a rectifier circuit with a high-power conversion efficiency (PCE) in a wide input power range. This circuit contains two conversion stages based on two different Schottky diodes, and a third stage that dissipates the unconverted input power, which can disturb the harvesting process. These three stages are controlled by a power management block based on circulators, that direct the input power to the adequate stage according to its power range. A prototype of the proposed harvesting system is fabricated and experimentally validated. The measurement results confirm the wide input power range behavior of the designed rectenna with a relatively constant and high PCE (between 58% and 67%) for a power density ranging from 4 to 252 μW/cm 2. The proposed solution can be successfully used for both ambient energy harvesting and WPT systems.
