Comparative Study of Antenna Designs for RF Energy Harvesting

Comparative Study of Antenna Designs for RF Energy Harvesting

In the last few years, several antenna designs of rectenna that meet various objectives have been proposed for use in RF energy harvesting. Among various antennas, microstrip patch antennas are widely used because of their low profile, light weight, and planar structure. Conventional patch antennas...
