Rectenna Systems For RF Energy Harvesting

Project Title

Rectenna Systems For RF Energy Harvesting

Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary

Our project is divided in two parts:

1: Antenna

2: Rectifier Circuit

1: Antenna:

We are using microstrip patch antenna as our main source of electromagnaticc waves.

2: Rectifier Circuit:

Rectifier is subdivided in three parts:

i: Low Pass Filter

ii: Matching Network (Impedence Matching)

iii: Rectification

How the Project Will Work? 

The Antenna will recieve RF waves from air and space and will convert them to AC. We then will filter the unwanted frequencies using LPF. Then we will be matching the impedence to attain maximum power transfer. After this we will convert the AC signal to DC to use it for required load.

Project Objectives

1. Design an Microstip Patch Antenna.
2. Design a rectifier circuit to convert RF waves to use for DC purposes.
3. Designing an array of antenna to analyze the increase in recieved power.
4. Implementing the recieved power to a specific load.

Project Implementation Method

1. Designing Microstrip Patch Antenna
2. Designing Rectifier Circuit
3. Designing Array

Benefits of the Project

1. It is a clean source of energy.
2. If we will be successful in achieving a good amount of power it will be a great achievment.
3. It can be used on large scale to produce large amount of power.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

1. A Rectenna with single antenna.
2. A Rectenna with antenna array.
