摘要
Radio-frequency (RF) energy harvesting (RFEH) and radiative wireless power transfer (WPT) have attracted significant interest as methods of enabling battery-free sustainable wireless networks. Rectifying antennas (rectennas) are the cornerstone of WPT and RFEH systems and critically affect the amount of dc power delivered to the load. The antenna element of the rectenna directly impacts the radiation-to-ac harvesting efficiency, which can vary the harvested power by orders of magnitude. In this article, antenna designs employed in WPT and ambient RFEH applications are reviewed. Reported rectennas are categorized based on two main criteria: the antenna-rectifier impedance bandwidth and the antenna's radiation properties. For each criterion, the figure of merit (FoM) is identified for different applications and reviewed comparatively.
