“…In the last decade, ranges of antenna for energy harvesting applications have been proposed such as patch antenna [3], spiral antenna [4], dipole antenna [5], slot antenna [6], metamaterial antenna [7], and so on. These antenna designs have narrowband [5,8], multiband [9,10], or wideband [1][2][3][4][11][12][13][14] operations.…”

In this paper, for energy harvesting applications a design of a wideband planar monopole antenna is proposed using fractal geometry and inserting a thin slot on radiation patch. The proposed antenna is optimized at various stages during its design. Moreover, a parametric study is done for understanding sensitivity of important design parameters in the design process of the antenna. The designed antenna operates at 10-dB impedance bandwidth from 0.92 to 2.58 GHz (fractional bandwidth of 95%) with low profile structure and compact size of 65 × 65 × 0.8 mm 3 , acceptable return losses, stable radiation characterizes and reasonable gains. A potential application of the antenna as a receiving antenna for harvesting systems has been carried out inside the laboratory as the harvested power from ambient radiofrequency (RF) energy. This wideband antenna has a good potential to harvest RF energy of available signals in the GSM-900, GSM-1800, and Wi-Fi bands, and can be used as a part in DC power supply modules of low power sensor networks.

“…These models are simpler, can provide initial design parameters and can facilitate development of new antenna designs and configurations. Although there are several such models for microstrip antennas, there is a dearth of similar models for electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) antennas reported fairly recently …”

“…Although there are several such models for microstrip antennas, there is a dearth of similar models for electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) antennas reported fairly recently. [10][11][12] In this letter, a novel equivalent circuit model is developed for an aperture coupled EBG antenna, resonant at the ISM 5.8 GHz frequency band which was proposed in Ref. 11 The model is derived from the current flow analysis of the antenna's operation and predicts a −10 dB impedance bandwidth of 0.42 GHz (7.3%), which is validated against the simulated impedance bandwidth of 0.50 GHz (8.6%) and measured impedance bandwidth of 0.51 GHz (8.8%).…”
