摘要
This work addresses design and implementation issues of a 24 GHz rectenna, which is developed to demonstrate the feasibility of wireless power harvesting and transmission (WPT) techniques towards millimeter-wave regime. The proposed structure includes a compact circularly polarized substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity-backed antenna array integrated with a self-biased rectifier using commercial Schottky diodes. The antenna and the rectifier are individually designed, optimized, fabricated and measured. Then they are integrated into one circuit in order to validate the studied rectenna architecture. The maximum measured conversion efficiency and DC voltage are respectively equal to 24% and 0.6 V for an input power density of 10 mW/cm(2).
