Investigation of PCB microstrip patch receiving antenna for outdoor RF energy harvesting in wireless sensor networks

Abstract: In this paper the suitability of using a printed circuit board (PCB) microstrip patch receiving antenna for a novel application -RF energy harvesting to power a wireless soil sensor network deployed in an outdoor environment -is investigated. The performance of a conventional circular microstrip patch antenna using different microwave laminate substrates is evaluated in terms of return loss, radiation efficiency, and gain. Based on a chosen PCB material as the antenna substrate, an enhanced gain circular patch… Show more

“…where αnm is the attenuation, aeff is the circular patch antenna radius, and εreff is the effective relative dielectric constant. Next, we take a look at folded dipoles as shown in Figure 15, which have been implemented in both free space [64] and printed forms. In the free space (nonprinted) version, the author of [64] fabricated a soldered folded dipole.…”

“…RF energy is harvested from the RF emitted by sources such as radio and TV signals, cell phones, WiFi communications and microwaves [38,39,40]. An energy harvesting system consists of two main subsystems, one is the receiving antenna, which functions to capture ambient RF energy to power up the integrated embedded system and second subsystem is the rectification circuitry, which converts the input RF power into DC output power efficiently [41].…”
