Abstract

Abstract: This article introduces an overview of a rectifying antenna (rectenna) circuit topology for microwave power transmission system. Specially, a rectenna based on a microstrip patch antenna and a microwave rectifier at 2.45GHz were designed and fabricated.  The antenna’s return loss is achieved of -26 dB at 2.45GHz. The microwave to DC conversion efficiency of the rectenna was measured as 40.1% with 24 dBm input power and 220 W load. The design  and simulated results  were  carried out  by  the  microwave engineering professional  design software,  known as ADS2009 package. All design and simulation results will be reported.

Keywords:  Antenna, Conversion efficiency, HSMS2820 Schottky diode, Microwave power transmission, Rectenna.
