Radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting and wireless power transmission (WPT) technologies -both near-field and far-field-have attracted significant interest for wireless applications and RFID systems. We already utilize near-field WPT products in our life and it is expected that RF EH and far-field WPT systems can drive the future low-power wireless systems. In this article, we initially present a brief historical overview of these technologies. The main technical challenges of rectennas and WPT transmitters are discussed. Furthermore, this paper presents the recent advances on the development of these technologies, including the possibility of powering RFID systems through the millimeter wave power from 5G networks, the trends in flexible rectennas design and the technological developments on the simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT).

Abstract-In this letter, the design and performance analysis of a harmonic planar transponder on paper, which conjugates compactness and scalability, are presented. The tag, targeted for a fundamental frequency of 1.2 GHz, is based on a frequency doubler with a single lumped component (a low-barrier Schottky diode) and a system of nested tapered annular slot antennas. Both antennas, orthogonally placed, feature a maximum gain around 3 dBi. The frequency doubler is optimized for power levels in the order of −13 dBm, where it achieves a conversion loss of 15.7 dB. A complete prototype has been tested in a wireless indoor experiment, demonstrating a coverage of at least 4 m, insensitive to tag-toreader rotations (transmitter effective isotropic radiated power 16 dBm).

“…A rectenna on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) offers significant performance results [3] but PET is not recyclable so far. Paper substrate rectennas have been reported as well [3][4][5][6]. The rectifier in [5] is designed for an input power of −20 dBm, using HSMS-282B diodes as rectifying elements in a five-stage Villard topology, with a PCE of 58%.…”

Developers of electronics for the Internet of Things are considering nonstandard substrate materials like recyclable, low-cost, and eco-friendly cardboard paper. From this perspective, this article reviews the design and experimental results of a 2D-rectenna for scavenging radio-frequency energy at 2.45 GHz on various cardboard paper substrates for both the antenna and rectifier. Four types of recycled cardboard material, each with different thicknesses, air gaps, and surface roughness, are selected for characterization. A linearly polarized rectangular microstrip patch antenna with microstrip transmission feeding is adopted for ease of fabrication. At 2.45 GHz, the antenna has a simulated and measured global gain of 2.98 dB and 2.53 dB, respectively, on a 2.2 mm thick cardboard material. The rectifying element consists of a voltage-doubler configuration connected through a T-matching network to the antenna. At low RF input power (−10 dBm), the maximum available DC output power is experimentally evaluated at 1.73 μW, 7.5 μW, and 8.5 μW for HSMS-2860, HSMS-2850, and SMS7306-079L diodes, respectively. The respective rectifiers with diodes SMS7306-079L, HSMS-2850, and HSMS-2860 exhibit optimal load values of 2 kΩ, 2.6 kΩ, and 8 kΩ. The rectifier designed using the SMS7306-079L diode experimentally reaches a maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 14.2% at −5 dBm input power when the optimal load value is 1.5 kΩ.
