A RECTENNA FOR 5G ENERGY HARVESTING

Efthymakis, Panagiotis 01 January 2018 (has links)
This thesis describes the design of a rectenna that is capable of operating in 5G. 5G’s availability will create the opportunity to harvest energy everywhere in the network’s coverage. This thesis investigates a Rectenna device with a new proposed topology in order to eliminate coupling between input and output lines and increase the rectification efficiency. Moreover, it is designed to charge a rechargeable battery of 3V, 1mA, with a 4.8mm diameter. The current design describes using one antenna for energy harvesting; this could be expanded to use an antenna array, which would increase the input power. This would lead to higher output currents, leading to the ability to efficiently charge a wide variety of batteries. Because of its small size, the rectenna could be used for the remote charging of an implantable sensor battery or for other applications where miniaturization is a design consideration.
