This paper gives an enhanced Rectenna design that operates at dual-band [2.45 and 5.8] GHz in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) band and is printed on an FR4-Epoxy substrate. This Rectenna design includes two proposed sub-designs for the receiving antenna and rectifier circuit based on the microstrip technology. The first sub-design concerns the microstrip patch antenna (MPA) described by its radiating element as a pentagonal, its ground being affected by a defective ground structure technique, and its polarization manner as circular polarization. This MPA design is analyzed, designed, optimized using genetic algorithms (GAs), simulated under CST MWS (i.e., computer simulation technology microwave studio), and confirmed by another software named HFSS (high-frequency structure simulator). The second sub-design concerns the microstrip rectifier circuit (MRC) that contains an input matching network based on a coupled-line impedance transformer strategy to achieve good adaptation between MPA and MRC, voltage doubler converter using an SMS7630 Schottky diode thanks to its high sensitivity, microstrip interdigital capacitor to mitigate the intrinsic losses due to the lumped elements, harmonic rejection filter based on a stepped-impedance low-pass filter to reject the unwanted harmonics generated by the non-linear behavior of SMS7630, and the resistive load that models the consumption of the system to be fed. This MRC is analyzed, designed, optimized using GAs, and simulated under ADS (Advanced Design System). The effectiveness of the proposed MPA is proven in terms of gain equals 3.06 dBi and 4.683 dBi at 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz respectively, and efficiency equals 95.13 % and 96.552 % at 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz respectively. The proposed MRC is effective in terms of efficiency at a lower input power value of about 97.18 % and 67.93 % at 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz respectively. |
