Design of Loop Antennas and Rectifier at 900 MHz for RF Energy Harvesting

Surabhi Chaurasia, P.K. Singhal

Abstract


In modern era, storage of energy and finding its alternative solution is rising problem to deal with. By using naturally available ambient energy sources, we can solve this problem. This paper focuses on design of loop antenna capable of collecting and managing energy from RF electromagnetic waves. After RF-DC conversion energy may be stored or can be directly used to feed low voltage devices. Two structures of loop antennas on 900 MHz with 3.07 and 3.86 dB gain respectively will be proposed. These antennas with modified structures were designed and optimized using CST MWS software. Different simulation and fabrication results will be presented.
