Microstrip Antenna for Ambient RF Energy Harvesting

摘要

This study analyzes the antenna characteristics on the acquisition of radio frequency (RF) energy. To conduct energy harvesting evaluation research, the antennas are studied to find out the optimal layout plan. In addition, this work quantifies and evaluates the microwave energy emitted by the mobile base station and the WiFi transmitter. The rectennas have been practically designed, constructed, and harvested enough RF energy to switch on electric circuits.
