DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF RECTENNA FOR RF ENERGY HARVESTING - UGC Approved Journals

Abstract In this paper design and analysis of Rectenna for RF energy harvesting is proposed. The concept of RF energy harvesting is simply to utilize the microwave power available in our surroundings. The proposed Rectenna is designed and analyzed at 2.45 GHz frequency. The proposed design consists of Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna followed by Elliptical low pass filter. The proposed module of Rectenna gives -37 dB simulated return loss. Which shows good degree of design accuracy. The proposed design is designed and simulated on computer simulation technology microwave studio 2010.
