Efficient 2.45 GHz rectenna design including harmonic rejecting rectifier device
Résumé
An efficient rectenna based on a dual Schottky diodes converter has been designed at 2.45 GHz. The proposed rectifying circuit is well suitable for wireless sensor applications because no input lowpass filter and no via-hole connections are required, resulting in a more simple structure. A simulation mixing an electromagnetic and circuit analysis has been first used to optimise the rectifier. In addition, the performances of the rectenna has been correctly predicted and characterised using an FDTD formulation extended to lumped circuit elements. The realised rectenna exhibits 83% efficiency over a 1050 V resistive load at a power density of 0.31 mW/cm 2 .
