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).

“…En la cosecha de energía inalámbrica por medio de rectennas, se utilizan dos tipos de rectificadores integrados a las antenas, el primero de ellos es basado en la tecnología CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor), son rectificadores compactos capaces de trabajar con bajas potencias de entrada sin embargo, operan en una sola banda de frecuencia; estos rectificadores pueden aumentar la eficiencia de carga de energía recolectada disminuyendo las pérdidas de energía suministrada a los dispositivos [29], [30]. Otro tipo de rectificador es basado en la tecnología PCB (Printed Circuit Board), es fácil de diseñar e integrar con circuitos impresos, opera en múltiples bandas de frecuencia, además, su bajo costo permite realizar múltiples diseños [31], [32].…”

The objective of this study, reflected in this document, was to implement a rectenna for 2.45 GHz and 5.38 GHz wireless local area applications. For this purpose, the antenna dimensions were set to 18 mm × 44 mm, which is simulated using the optimization software CST Studio, manufactured on FR4 substrate with a thickness of 1.6 mm, where the conductive material has a thickness of 0.035 mm. Likewise, the rectangular slot technique was used to improve the bandwidth of the antenna; this technique consists of inserting slots in the structure to modify the displacement of the surface current. The above presented a gain of 2.49 dB at the 2.45 GHz frequency and 4.01 dB at the 5.38 GHz frequency. The proposed antenna for RF energy harvesting applications exhibits a dipole type radiation pattern, which enhances the capture of RF energy from various directions. The triple slotted-band rectifier with T-shaped impedance matching network was designed in FR4, using a Schotkky HSMS-286C diode for AC to DC RF control switching. A tp-link TL-WR940N wireless router was used as the RF emitting source at 30 cm separation between it and the proposed rectenna. The DC output of the rectenna is 3 volts with a generated signal power of 20 dBm at 2.4 GHz. The low-cost rectenna can be used for power-charging applications in the Internet of things (IoT) systems.

“…Energy from the natural resources can be solar, thermal, vibration, friction, or Radio Frequencies (RF) signals and behave differently over time, depending on the operating environment of the system. In this work, we focus on RF Energy Harvesting and wireless power transfer (WPT techniques as potential sources in autonomous energy systems) [1].…”

The exigency for continuous use of electrical devices has created greater demands for electricity along with more efficient transmission techniques. Energy from natural resources can be solar, thermal, vibration, friction, or Radio Frequencies (RF) signals. This state-of-the-art work provides a summary of RF energy harvesting techniques and can be used as a guide for the manufacture of RF energy scavenging modules. The use of Radio Frequency (RF) Energy Harvesting (EH) technique contributes to the development of autonomous energy devices and sensors. A rectenna system includes three main units: the receiving antenna, the impedance matching network, and the rectifier. We thoroughly analyze how to design a rectenna system with special emphasis given on the design of the rectifier. At the same time many works of the last 10 years are presented. This review article categorizes the used topologies depending on the type of antennas, IMNs, and rectifiers and comparatively presents their advantages and disadvantages.
