摘要
A compact reconfigurable rectifying antenna (rectenna) has been proposed for 5.2- and 5.8-GHz microwave power transmission. The proposed rectenna consists of a frequency reconfigurable microstrip antenna and a frequency reconfigurable rectifying circuit. Here, the use of the odd-symmetry mode has significantly cut down the antenna size by half. By controlling the switches installed in the antenna and the rectifying circuit, the rectenna is able to switch operation between 5.2 and 5.8 GHz. Simulated conversion efficiencies of 70.5% and 69.4% are achievable at the operating frequencies of 5.2 and 5.8 GHz, respectively, when the rectenna is given with an input power of 16.5 dBm. Experiment has been conducted to verify the design idea. Due to fabrication tolerances and parametric deviation of the actual diode, the resonant frequencies of the rectenna are measured to be 4.9 and 5.9 GHz. When supplied with input powers of 16 and 15 dBm, the measured maximum conversion efficiencies of the proposed rectenna are found to be 65.2% and 64.8% at 4.9 and 5.9 GHz, respectively, which are higher than its contemporary counterparts.
