Abstract

This paper presents a novel rectenna with a wide tunable operating frequency band without introducing a complex impedance matching network. It shows significant advantages over the existing rectennas in terms of the structure and cost. A rectenna example has been designed with a compact size of 90 × 90 × 1.58 mm3 and operates at four different frequency bands from 1.1 to 2.8 GHz. Over 60% energy conversion efficiency is achieved for the desired frequency band. The proposed rectenna shows good performance for the wireless power transfer and wireless energy harvesting applications with a much-simplified structure and reduced cost.
