“…Combining battery-less powering devices in a broad spectrum of applications and RF power delivered with lightweight and cost-effective, ecofriendly printed electronics techniques could widen the application of IoT devices. However, knowledge about the capability of printed electronics techniques to manufacture rectenna components is bounded by the limited number of presented appli-cations in related reviews, focused on specific aspects of the RF energy harvesting and wireless power transfer domain (such as RF EH in specific applications, [1,13,68,173] hardware, and design methodologies, [23,55,66] RF powered wireless networks, [100] protocols design, [174] radiation sources, [23] ) or different spectrums of printed electronics applications. [6,24,137,[175][176][177] In this review, we present printed electronics techniques found to be the best candidates for manufacturing radio frequency energy harvesting and wireless power transfer systems and describe rectenna components manufactured by them.…”
