Triple band Microstrip Patch Antenna in a Square Contour for RF Energy Harvesting Applications

Pawan Jay Vasnav, Bimal Garg

Abstract


In this study, a triple band microstrip patch antenna in a square contour is designed for RF Energy Harvesting (RFEH) Application. The proposed antenna covers signals from GSM-900, GSM-1800 and 2400MHz bands of frequency. The proposed triple band patch antenna is loaded on FR-4 lossy substrate with thickness of 1.6 mm. The Defected Ground Structure with square slots and square contour in radiating patch is used for increasing the resonating band of the proposed triple band Microstrip Patch antenna for operating in the domain of Radio RFEH. The proposed antenna receives RF signals from all the directions for RFEH applications such as powering low power devices. The maximum directivity of proposed antenna is greater than 3dBi at all resonating frequency bands. In this study, Reflection Coefficient, input impedance plot is presents.

Keywords: triple band, defected ground structure (DGS), RF energy harvesting (RFEH)
