“…Prior to it, complete illustration about the microwave antennas in RF energy harvesting are presented with complete design perspective. A comparative study along with performatory analysis of microwave antennas are presented in Table ; keeping intact with rectenna characteristics: operating frequency, realized gain, polarization diversity, input power levels, and RF‐to‐DC power conversion efficiency, which was not in the scope of review papers for RF energy harvesting available in the open literature. Technically, to pursue clear understanding about tradeoffs of modern RF systems; five different cases of planar antennas (monopole antennas) at different bands with reflector surfaces and integrated with rectifier circuits are designed, simulated and analyzed by using FDTD domain solver (CST microwave studio) and circuit solver (advanced design system).…”

With the significant rise of low power embedded devices in various applications of both consumer and commercial usage, the surge for continuous power requirements has initiated promising research toward alternative sources of energy. It includes the domain of wireless power transmission, internet‐of‐things, wireless sensor nodes, machine‐to‐machine, and radio frequency identification. Thus, the overall scope of this review article is to witness microwave antennas and its implementation in RF energy harvesting system through ambient RF signals. For this reason, unified understanding of classical electromagnetism is needed; beginning with the fundamentals of RF transmission and the exploration of concepts such as Fraunhofer's Distance and Friis Transmission Equation. It is followed up by the analogy of dependency of parameters like circuit build‐up, conversion efficiencies and amount of power harvested, which is quite crucial from the rectifier point‐of‐view. For better improvisement in RF energy harvesting systems, five different cases of monopole antennas are explored with reflector surfaces such as PEC (perfect electrical conductor) and AMC (artificial magnetic conductor) integrated with the rectifier circuit. Implementation with wide diversity has proposed a generalized solution for achieving tradeoffs: polarization and pattern diversity with consistent system efficiency; leads to clean and sustainable energy for low power‐embedded devices.

“…From a hardware point of view, antenna designs already exist for EH from interference signals issued from GSM, WLAN, UMTS and related applications, where antennas are designed with the potential to be used in EH systems. Several categories are also proposed in the literature for different frequency bands such as 900MHZ, 940MHz, 1.95GHz and 2.44GHz, 0,8 to 12GHz [77,78,79,80,81]. The designed antennas can be integrated in an antenna array to increase the gain and preserve a very high frequency bandwidth.…”

“…UWB antennas are widely used in impulse radar like ground penetrating radar (GPR), medical imaging applications and short range wireless personal area networks where lower gain of conventional planar UWB antenna is a major constraint [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Maximum radiation in the broadside direction is much more useful than monopole like bi-directional or omni-directional radiation of conventional UWB antenna.…”
