“…In fact, it has been found that radiated electromagnetic radio frequency energy (EM-RF) harvesting can be one of promising alternatives to obtain energy to power wireless sensors without dependence on environmental parameters like wind flow, temperature gradient, sun, etc. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. In this direction, researchers have developed the radiated EM-RF energy harvesting systems, which are composed by antenna, impedance matching circuit, rectifier, and the energy storage device or load [20][21][22][23][24][25].…”

This paper proposes a novel environmental energy harvesting process. The source of energy consists of the electromagnetic (EM) noise emitted by the frequency converter system (inverter) and the harvester is composed by a monopole antenna and a full rectifier circuit. The operation of the frequency converter using MOSFET and IGBT switchers produces parasite currents in high frequency (100 KHz to 30 MHz) which are the principal cause of radiated EM noise. We have demonstrated that we can convert this EM noise into useful electrical energy to power wireless sensor nodes (WSNs) and other electronic devices. Experimentally, the EM noise is produced when the system “frequency converter + charge” is in operation mode. Moreover, the harvester has produced an uninterrupted power of 40 mW measured in accredited ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory. Furthermore, we have presented the output power of our device stored in 1 µF capacitor with demonstration examples of loading charges. These results offer opportunities for self-powered WSNs and electronic devices on a very large area of industrial applications with less use of conventional batteries.

This paper presents a Sunlight-Radio Frequency (RF) energy harvesting system built on Solar Panel Mesh Dipole Antenna integration. The dipole antenna mesh is mounted on the surface of the solar panel at the separations between the cells. This configuration maximizes the absorption of both solar and RF energies. Further, the multiple mesh antennas are integrated vertically to increase the RF harvested power. Each antenna output is connected to a six-stage RF-Voltage Doubler Rectifier (RF-VDR) circuit to convert the RF signal to a direct current (DC) and added to the solar panel DC output. This paper involves the design analysis of the antenna parameters, the integration process, and the design of the RF matching circuit. Prototype tests show that the proposed mesh dipole antenna has 83% efficiency. This is better than earlier similar designs published. From previous designs, the measured RF to DC conversion efficiency (CE) of the VDR circuit was merely 62% when the RF input equals -14 dBm. Moreover, the solar panel efficiency has been enhanced by 41.3 % when the input RF power density equals 49.16 mW/m 2 . Finally, the results proved that the proposed solar antenna system achieves 28.5 % power CE and outperforms the others that use transparent patch antennas.
