Abstract

In the last decades,energy attained from various sources, for example;wind energy,thermal energy,solar power and RF energy has been in use for countless purposes.Radio frequency energy harvesting is an energy conversion technique employed for converting energy from the electromagnetic field into the electrical domain. Therefore,the purpose of this project is to design microstrip patch antenna integrated with rectifier that will operate at 2.45GHz for RF energy harvesting.This project is undertaken as an approach to generate the electricity without the usage of both power electricity or solar electricity due to some limitation that occur in space.This project is also to analyze an efficient technique to transfer the energy without degrading the performance of the rectifying circuit.To obtain the objectives,a patch antenna and rectifying circuit need to design by using CST Microwave Studio then fabricated on FR4 board.The parameter involve in this research study would be all antenna basic characteristics such as a resonance frequency,return loss,bandwidth,gain,and directivity.While,for rectifier circuit would be DC output voltage and the RF to DC conversion efficiency.The microstrip patch antenna and rectifier will be optimized to improve its performance so that it is reliable for RF energy harvesting application.
