“…As it can be observed, the use of MTM cells leads to a significant increase in the electromagnetic energy harvesting ability. Po values achieved by EW (from 0.045 to 0.56 mW) are sufficient, by employing an intermittent process, to feed WSNs [3]. For comparison purposes and in order to demonstrate the robustness of the proposed EW, the rectenna presented in [13], which is built on a transparent Plexiglas substrate, is able to provide values of power in the range from 1 to 5000 W.…”

“…The main SA technology feature is the use of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Although theses sensors are low-power loads [3] their use imposes huge challenges in terms of a new, efficient and Electromagnetic Energy Harvesting Using a Glass Window 51 reliable way for power supply in order to avoid the traditional battery. The RF-based energy harvesting technology is especially suitable to power WSNs because the rectenna can be completely introduced in the distributed hosting sensors structure, reducing its cost, maintenance and environmental impact [4].…”

“…An alternative method of new energy access is necessary so that ambient RF energy harvester is considered as abroder range of suitable power source for all kinds of applications. There are some new technologies about energy harvesting, for examples: piezoelectric, photovoltaic, and thermoelectric energy harvesting systems, which have even been used to power up low power devices [1]. However, these harvesting devices have some limitations, and they are vulnerable or environment polluted or limited by the time and distance.…”

As the rapid development of communication industry, especially the 5G communication and IOT, there will be plenty of electromagnetic (EM) waves in the free space, which carry lots of energies. However, some of these energies are wasted in free space. To reuse these wasted energies, significantly growing interests are towards to the energy harvesting antennas. This paper is aimed to investigate a wearable antenna which can transfer RF energy from ambient sources to direct current by a soft and portable textile antenna. Among the numerous signals in mobile network, the GSM 1800, 3G, WiFi and 4G/5G will be chosen due to the city signal intensity distribution. Hence, a corresponding triple bands antenna has been designed to cover those frequency bands. The CST STUDIO SUITE is used in whole process of antenna design and simulation. The proposed antenna is a hooked dipole antenna with tuning bar (HATB) whose ends have small folded part in each side for better bandwidth performance. The presented antenna provides a wide operating band from 1.8 GHz to 2.5 GHz below -10 dB in return loss. And methods to overcome interference between antennas is found. Furthermore, using the corresponding rectifier to achieve the RF/DC conversion. The overall efficiency of whole rectifier is about 56.8 %, and output power level of the antenna system is 45.92nW. The experimental results could indicate that my textile hooked antenna harvester is a good choice for the charging system of personal wearable attachment, which could achieve low power absorbing for long distance anytime and anywhere.

In this paper a single fed microstrip patch rectenna for harvesting ambient radio frequency energy is presented. The antenna comprises of a clover shaped radiating patch operating at 2.4GHz ISM band. The rectifier circuit is placed in the same plane of radiating patch to minimize the overall antenna profile. The antenna is modelled and are fabricated on low loss roger dielectric substrate. Measured results show that the antenna achieves a peak gain of 7.19 dB in the operating ISM band with maximum RF conversion efficiency of 79%. The proposed antenna is suitable for wireless energy harvesting applications operating in ISM band.
