“…For hardware implementations, research efforts have been made for narrow-band antenna (typically from several to tens of MHz) designs in a single band [73], [108], [114], [115], and dual bands [112], [116]- [118] as well as triple bands [119]- [121]. Moreover, broadband antenna designs (typical on order of 1GHz) have been the focus of some recent work [122]- [129].…”

Radio frequency (RF) energy transfer and harvesting techniques have recently become alternative methods to power the next generation wireless networks. As this emerging technology enables proactive energy replenishment of wireless devices, it is advantageous in supporting applications with quality of service (QoS) requirements. In this paper, we present a comprehensive literature review on the research progresses in wireless networks with RF energy harvesting capability, referred to as RF energy harvesting networks (RF-EHNs). First, we present an overview of the RF-EHNs including system architecture, RF energy harvesting techniques and existing applications. Then, we present the background in circuit design as well as the state-of-the-art circuitry implementations, and review the communication protocols specially designed for RF-EHNs. We also explore various key design issues in the development of RF-EHNs according to the network types, i.e., single-hop networks, multi-antenna networks, relay networks, and cognitive radio networks. Finally, we envision some open research directions.Index Terms-RF energy harvesting, simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), receiver operation policy, beamforming, communication protocols, RF-powered Cognitive radio network.1553-877X (c) 2 transmission. Traditionally, free-space beaming and antennas with large apertures are used to overcome propagation loss for large power transfer. For example, in 1960's, the authors in [15] demonstrate a small helicopter hovering at a height of 50 feet, powered by an RF source with a DC power supply of 270W operating on 2.45GHz on the ground. In [16], the authors demonstrate a space-to-earth power transfer system using gigantic transmit antenna arrays at a satellite and receive antenna arrays at a ground station. For transmit power of 2.7GW, the power transfer efficiency is estimated to be 45% over a transfer distance of 36000km. During the past decade, with the development in RF energy harvesting circuit, low power transfer for powering mobile terminals in wireless communication systems began to attract increasing attention [17], [18]. The authors in [17] propose a network architecture for RF charging stations, overlaying with an uplink cellular network. In [18], a harvest-then-transmit protocol is introduced for power transfer in wireless broadcast system. Moreover, various modern beamforming techniques are employed to improve power transfer efficiency [18]-[20] for mobile applications.It is until recently that the dual use of RF signals for delivering energy as well as for transporting information has been advocated [21], [22]. Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) [23] is proposed for delivering RF energy, usually in a low power region (e.g., for sensor networks). SWIPT provides the advantage of delivering controllable and efficient on-demand wireless information and energy concurrently, which offers a low-cost option for sustainable operations of wireless systems without hardware modification on the ...

“…Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) attracted the interest of many researchers in last few years. [1] WSN is characterized by nodes with a low profile, limited power and sparse energy resources, which have the ability to collaborate with each other, and to sense, and react to the world that surrounds them. Now a days "Plug & play" system used in WSN, requires small volume solution.…”

The objective of this paper is to present an analysis of menderline monopole antennas, which are applicable to wireless sensor networks in agricultural. In this paper, a 2.4 GHz Menderline Monopole Antenna (MLMA) is proposed for wireless sensors network. This work presents the detailed analysis of menderline antenna and variation of mender line parameter on antenna performance. A MLMA is modeled at 2.4 GHz with substrate of FR4 with dielectric constant (εr) of 4.4. The performance of the MLMA is enhanced by using optimum geometry. The better performance in terms of bandwidth and impedance matching is found. For the proposed MLMA, the bandwidth of 149MHz and return loss of -23.98dB is obtained. The proposed work shows good performance of MLMA, in terms of geometric size, bandwidth and return loss which makes it suitable for wireless sensor network.

“…Low profile, low cost and ease of integration with active and complex devices has made Microstrip Patch Antenna (MPA) very popular in recent years. Meander line constitutes a class of MPA with its horizontal and vertical lines to give small size and wideband performance antenna for numerous applications including energy harvesting [1][2], USB-WLAN with notebook-PC housing [3], Wireless devices and wearable devices [4][5][6][7], Health and Body-centric wireless communication (BCWC) applications [8]. Research has introduced several types of microstrip antennas and investigations thereof have resulted in observed disadvantages such as narrow frequency bandwidth, larger value of Q, poor polarization and low efficiency [9][10].…”

A multi-band dual polarized log periodic meander-line antenna is presented in this paper. The Ansoft HFSS 3-D EM simulator is employed for design simulation. The proposed antenna is realized on a FR-4 Epoxy substrate with ε r = 4.4 and tan ξ = 0.02. The size of the antenna is 14.5 x 20 x 1.59 mm 3. The proposed antenna is fabricated and comparison between simulated and measured result for return loss has been observed and is found in good agreement. In addition to micro-strip transmission line feed, a capacitive probe feed has been introduced and enhancement in impedance bandwidth has been observed as compared to only transmission line feeding method. Small size of the antenna enables itself to be introduced in complex systems and can be used for various applications including GSM1800/1900, WCDMA2100 and LTE1800/2300/3700 TDD for mobile handsets and mobile assisted health applications.
