“…Moreover, the capacitive coupling technique [29], between the WIT and the WPT, inhibited dc backflow into the antenna's radiator and enabled good conjugate impedance matching between the antenna's radiator (Z P a ) and the dc rectifier circuit (Z d ). A λ/4 high impedance short stub transformer [30] was employed to choke RF signal flowing into the ground while passing dc from the rectifier to the output load (R L ). In step-III, shown in Fig.…”

An integrated, miniature, dual-purpose circular patch antenna is proposed for Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transmission (SWIPT). The design proposes a proximity-coupled feed to the radiative circular patch for Wireless Information Transfer (WIT) in 5.7 GHz -6.0 GHz band and an integrated capacitive-coupled feeding network, with full-wave rectification (FWR) using regenerative opposite fringing fields from the radiating edges of the patch for energizing IoT sensors by means of wireless power transfer (WPT) at 5.2 GHz. For the realization, two co-polarized fringing field harvesters are capacitively coupled to the radiating edges of the patch to regenerate those opposite fringes whose currents are effectively matched to the FWR using a pair of Schottky diodes for direct current (DC) power generation. Since the gain and efficiency of the patch, in WIT mode, are favoured when using the FWR network, the effective regenerative fields, which are deemed attractive in modern wireless sensor network (WSN) applications for boosting the lifespan of sensor nodes.

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to expand, the demand for the use of energy-efficient circuits and batteryless devices has grown rapidly. Battery-less operation, zero maintenance and sustainability are the desired features of IoT devices in fifth generation (5G) networks and green Industry 4.0 wireless systems. The integration of energy harvesting systems, IoT devices and 5G networks has the potential impact to digitalize and revolutionize various industries such as Industry 4.0, agriculture, food, and healthcare, by enabling real-time data collection and analysis, mitigating maintenance costs, and improving efficiency. Energy harvesting plays a crucial role in envisioning a low-carbon Net Zero future and holds significant political importance. This survey aims at providing a comprehensive review on various energy harvesting techniques including radio frequency (RF), multi-source hybrid and energy harvesting using additive manufacturing technologies. However, special emphasis is given to RFbased energy harvesting methodologies tailored for battery-free wireless sensing, and powering autonomous low-power electronic circuits and IoT devices. The key design challenges and applications of energy harvesting techniques, as well as the future perspective of System on Chip (SoC) implementation, data digitization in Industry 4.0, next-generation IoT devices, and 5G communications are discussed.

“…For tags that either need power explicitly for the RFID communication link or for some other function (e.g., the sensing component), energy harvesting (EH) is an attractive solution either as a continual energy source, or to charge up an on-tag battery when necessary [23], [24]. EH can come from various sources such as solar, vibrational, electromagnetic induction, or radio frequency (RF) energy, and has been widely employed in recent years [5], [25]- [28]. RF energy harvesting may be ambient or through wireless power transfer (WPT), and typically occurs at a different frequency band than UHF RFID; the widely used industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band around 2.45 GHz is often chosen.…”

This paper presents an energy-autonomous antenna system that combines energy harvesting (EH) with radio frequency identification (RFID) communication to measure the battery charge level in real time. The system employs a dual-band patch antenna, a dual-band matching stub, and a diplexer, which are designed with metamaterial-based electromagnetic bandgap technology (MTM-EBG). Due to the MTM-EBG's uniplanar and via-less design, it can be directly embedded into the antenna and microstrip feed components, thereby contributing to their compactness, lowering cost, and simplifying fabrication. The RFID and EH portions of the system operate at frequencies of 915 MHz and 2.48 GHz, respectively. This system operates by rectifying RF power in the EH band in order to charge a supercapacitor battery, while a varactor imparts phase to the backscattered RFID signal. The phase of reflection is related to the level of charge in the battery, which is then read by the RFID reader. By acquiring the tag and charging information without power, this structure is energy autonomous, so there is no need for a permanent power source that will need to be replaced over time. Using supercapacitors or rechargeable batteries, the proposed structure can provide power for critical functions while monitoring their charging status remotely. The antenna system and RFID/EH architecture have been fabricated and measured, and battery level monitoring has been demonstrated.
