Design of a 5.8 GHZ rectenna by using metamaterial inspired small antenna
Résumé
In this paper, we present a new inspired metamaterial rectenna which is designed in the microstrip line structure at 5.8 GHz for the wireless transmission of microwave power. The proposed rectenna achieves RF-to-DC conversion efficiency of 52% and a DC voltage of 0.8 V when the received RF power is 1 mW at 5.8 GHz. The feasibility of this concept is presented through full-wave simulations. These simulations results will be updated at the conference with measurement results. © 2016 IEEE.
