| Popis: | The energy harvesting is defined as using energy that is available within the environment to increase the efficiency of any application. Moreover, this method is recognized as a useful way to break down the limitation of battery power for wireless devices. In this paper, several antenna designs of energy harvesting are introduced. The improved results are summarized as a 2×2 patch array antenna realizes improved efficiency by 3.9 times higher than the single patch antenna. The antenna has enhanced the bandwidth of 22.5 MHz after load two slots on the patch. The solar cell antenna is allowing harvesting energy during daylight. A couple of E-patches antennas have increased the bandwidth of 33% and the directivity up to 20 dBi. The received power can be improved by 1.2-1.4 times when using the dual port on pixel antenna. Complementary split ring resonator and substrate integrated waveguide are utilized cavity-backed feeding on a fractal patch antenna to enhance the bandwidth around 5.1%. Moreover, adding a rectifier circuit to an antenna converts the reserved RF-signal to DC power, and then duplicated the input voltage up to sum the total number of rectifier circuit stages. Therefore, the advantages and disadvantages of each antenna depend on the technique which used in design. |
