A Detailed Survey of Rectenna for Energy Harvesting: Over a Wide Range of Frequency

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Optical and Wireless Technologies

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering ((LNEE,volume 546))

Abstract

This Survey Paper aims at providing a comprehensive analysis of various Energy Harvesting techniques based on Rectennas. Several Research Papers published over the years have been studied in detail. The Rectennas mentioned in these papers are classified according to the frequency/frequency range and are thereupon compared with reference to conversion efficiency, output voltage, impedance matching techniques, and antenna type. Based on the survey performed, a conclusion has been drawn.
