These rectennas consist of several antennas such as dipole, antenna arrays, slot meander line and rhombic loop antennas along with the rectifying diodes. In some cases more than one rectifying devices have also been used and antenna is found to be act at dual bands. It has also found that rectenna reject the harmonics upto 3rd order and enhanced the performance characteristics. The maximum efficiency about 91% with 1.2 W of input power has been observed if the rectenna is used for microwave transmission.

INTRODUCTION The rectenna has been a growing area of research in recent years, as the microwave integrated circuit and monolithic microwave integrated circuit technologies became more mature allowing for high level integration. The rectenna termed as rectifying antenna, is combination of an antenna and a nonlinear rectifying element (Schottky diode, IMPATT diode…etc.) where the two elements are integrated into a single circuit. The schematic of a rectenna system is shown in Fig. 1. Such a system is capable to receive and detect microwave power and converts the RF power into dc voltage at high frequencies (THz). Fig.1 Schematic rectenna system. Since the rectenna is a receiving module collecting power from a radiation field, its sensitivity is defined by = ℎ Division of this value with the effective antenna aperture leads to the normally used quantity for detectors. = This characterizes the nonlinear element with its matching. A rectenna is useful as the receiving terminal of a power transmission system where dc power needs to be delivered to a load, through free space, for which physical transmission lines are not feasible. It is also suitable in applications where dc power needs to be distributed to more numbers of load elements that are spatially ISSN : 0975-5462 Vol. 3 No. 10 October 2011 7823 Rakesh Kumar Yadav et al. / International Journal of Engineering Science and Technology (IJEST) distributed. Such power distribution is achieved by the dispersive nature of microwave energy in space, eliminating the need for physical interconnects to individual load elements. The “rectenna” was invented by Brown and has been used for various applications such as the microwave power helicopter and the receiving array for Solar Power Satellite [1-5]. The experiment on the microwave powered aircraft which was conducted in Canada under the project SHARP (Stationary High Altitude Relay Platform), in which the structure of rectenna was evolved from a bulky bar-type to a planar thin-film type. It was found that the weight to power output ratio reduces effectively, and the power conversion efficiency of 85% is observed at 2.45 GHz [6, 7]. In general it is difficult to predict how the rectenna system is optimized for the maximum conversion efficiency. However, there are several theoretical methods to overcome this problem. These methods can be divided into two groups; the first one is to directly simulate the rectenna circuit in time domain [8], whereas the other is to find a closed-form equation which can explain the relationship between diode parameters and the conversion efficiency [9-10]. All these studies were done on 2.45 GHz because it is not strongly attenuated by the atmosphere even under a severe weather condition [11]. The frequency 2.45 GHz is suitable for the application of power transmission between ground-to-ground, ground-to-space and space-to-ground. However, the operating frequency can be increased to allow power transmission for the space-to-space application, over much longer distances with the smaller antenna and rectenna. Fig. 2 shows the plot of rectenna conversion efficiency with the input power. Fig. 2 General relationship between microwaves to dc power conversion efficiency and input power. The main objective with the design of rectenna is to obtain high conversion efficiency, and there are two approaches to achieve this goal. In first maximum power is collected and delivered to the rectifying diode, while in the second one harmonics generated by the diode are suppressed, which re-radiate from the antenna as power lost. In order to increase conversion efficiency by the first method, several broadband antennas, large antenna arrays and circularly polarized antennas have been designed and experimented. The broadband antenna enables relatively high RF power to be received from various sources while the antenna array can increase incident power delivered to the diode by enlarging antenna aperture and antenna gain. Antenna array is an effective means to increase the receiving power for rectification. However, a trade-off arises between the antenna size and the radiation gain. The circularly polarized antenna offers power reception with less polarization mismatch. However in second method, the rectenna consist of an LPF between the antenna and the diode, as well as an additional LPF on the dc output side of the diode. The main reason for the rise in the efficiency was the improvement in the diode and circuit construction for high input power levels. Several operating frequencies of the rectenna have been considered and investigated. Components of microwave power transmission have traditionally been focused on 2.45 GHz and recently moving up to 5.8 GHz, which has a smaller antenna aperture area than that of 2.45 GHz. Both frequencies have comparably low atmospheric loss, cheap components availability, and reported high conversion efficiency. That is, the rectenna is capable of very high conversion efficiencies (~90%) in optimal circumstances and hence very suitable for automotive radar applications. Therefore in present paper authors describe the progressive development of rectenna, during last two decades, focusing its importance in microwave power transmission, harmonic rejection, CP radiation, dual frequency and high efficiency and ISM band applications.

MICROWAVE POWER TRANSMISSION The receiving rectifying antenna (rectenna) is one of the main components of microwave power transmission systems. In order for such systems to operate cost efficiently in land or spaced-based locations, the conversion efficiency from microwave to dc of the rectenna must be high. In year 1992, J.O. Mcspadden, T. Yoo and K. Chang designed a 35 GHz rectenna using a microstrip patch antenna and 29% of measured efficiency was found with 120 mW input power. The measured efficiency versus input power for a 100Ω load resistance is shown in Fig.3. Fig. 3 The power conversion efficiency of the 35 GHz rectenna measured with the waveguide array simulator. They also designed a frequency selective surface using an equivalent circuit model and tested to pass 2.45 GHz with insertion loss of 0.3 dB [12]. It also rejects the second harmonic of 4.9 GHz. The frequency response of the gridded square FSS array is shown in Fig. 4. The 10 dB of attenuation occurred at 4.9 GHz on a small rectenna array whereas the conversion efficiency was decreased by less than 1%. Fig. 4 Calculated and measured frequency response of the gridded square FSS array. After 6 years, K.M. Strohm, J. Buechler and E. Kasper designed a rectenna on high resistivity silicon substrate using SIMMWIC technology [13]. The microstrip rectenna with two Schottky diode and single diode is shown in Fig 5, where the rectenna are combined with a CMOS preamplifier mounted as a multichip module next to the rectenna. They found the amplification of 32 dB while maximum sensitivity of the detector circuit including pre-amplification is 1600 mV/mW.cm-2 at 94.6 GHz. The frequency response and radiation pattern are plotted in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, which show a 3 dB BW of 1.6 GHz.

In year 2000, L.W. Epp et al. [14] proposed a compact rectenna capable of producing a 50 V output suitable for driving mechanical actuators. They describe the circuit that allows the output of multiple rectenna elements to be combined in order to step up the output voltage. For each of the two orthogonal polarizations (dual linear and circular) independent circuit is used. By suitable choice, the output voltage is twice over that of the single polarization case. These are used in the next generation space telescope to eliminate wiring between actuators and provide true mechanical isolation. By proper diode placement and adding resistance dc isolation pads, they found that a series combination of 9 patch element would combine the output of 18 diodes for dual polarization. For actuator application this allow for large output voltage for low incident power density. Fig.8 shows that by increasing load resistance the required 50V output can be obtained for a low incident power density of 6.3 mW/cm2.

The expressions for the radiationfields of these structures are obtained from the aperturefields of the ideal cavity model associatedwith the microstrip structure.The expressions for theradiation fields are then used to calculate the radiationcharacteristics of these microstrip structures. The radiation fields of theideal gap structure(gap angle 0) are derived in Chapter 3. For this case the aperture fields can be expressedeither in terms of the spherical Bessel functions (odd-modes) orin terms of the Bessel functions of integer order(even-modes) which is shown to result in a convergentseries or closed form expressions respectively for theradiation fields. study of the radiation patterns for thevarious modes of the ideal gap open-ring structuresreveals that the first radial TM12 mode can potentially be an efficient useful mode for applications of this structure as aradiating element.

  • Improving Fault Tolerance in 802.11 Wireless Long Distance Rural Networks
    Improving Fault Tolerance in 802.11 Wireless Long Distance Rural Networks A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Technology by Manikantah Kodali under the guidance of Dr. Bhaskaran Raman and co-guidance of Dr. A.R. Harish Department of Computer Science and Engineering Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur May, 2006 Abstract Wireless technology is a promising solution for providing communication facilities to rural areas. We consider a network deployment with long-distance wireless links between rural locations. One of the network locations consists of a wired connection/communication, to connect the other locations to the Internet. We call this location the central node. Towers and antennae are used for setting up long-distance wireless links in the network. Directional or sector antennae with high directional gain are used which are fixed and static. The network may be multi-hop. Individual village locations can be a few hops (say 2 or 3 hops) from the central node. One of the major issues with these types of networks is fault tolerance. When an intermediate node fails, a part of the network could get disconnected from the central node. This thesis work focuses on improving the fault tolerance of the above type of networks. For improving the fault tolerance we propose and explore three solutions. The basic idea in these solutions is to use another node as a backup node when the intermediate node fails. The first solution termed replication uses multiple directional antennae at the far-away nodes. A programmable RF-Switch is connected between the multiple antennae and the radio, the switch is programmed to select one of the directional antennae for transmission/reception as required.

  • An Electrically Small Multi-Port Loop Antenna for Direction of Arrival Estimation
    c 2014 Robert A. Scott AN ELECTRICALLY SMALL MULTI-PORT LOOP ANTENNA FOR DIRECTION OF ARRIVAL ESTIMATION BY ROBERT A. SCOTT THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Professor Jennifer T. Bernhard ABSTRACT Direction of arrival (DoA) estimation or direction finding (DF) requires mul- tiple sensors to determine the direction from which an incoming signal orig- inates. These antennas are often loops or dipoles oriented in a manner such as to obtain as much information about the incoming signal as possible. For direction finding at frequencies with larger wavelengths, the size of the array can become quite large. In order to reduce the size of the array, electri- cally small elements may be used. Furthermore, a reduction in the number of necessary elements can help to accomplish the goal of miniaturization. The proposed antenna uses both of these methods, a reduction in size and a reduction in the necessary number of elements. A multi-port loop antenna is capable of operating in two distinct, orthogo- nal modes { a loop mode and a dipole mode. The mode in which the antenna operates depends on the phase of the signal at each port. Because each el- ement effectively serves as two distinct sensors, the number of elements in an DoA array is reduced by a factor of two. This thesis demonstrates that an array of these antennas accomplishes azimuthal DoA estimation with 18 degree maximum error and an average error of 4.3 degrees.

  • The 3-D Folded Loop Antenna
    The 33---DD Folded Loop Antenna Dave Cuthbert WX7G Introduction This article will introduce you to an antenna I call the 3-Dimensional Folded Loop. This antenna is the result of my continuing efforts to compact full-size antennas by folding and bending the elements. I will first describe the basic 3-DFL and then provide construction details for the 2-meter and 10-meter 3-DFL antennas. Here are some features of the 3-DFL: • Reduced height and footprint • Full-sized antenna performance • Wide bandwidth • Ground independent • Can be built using standard hardware store parts Description The 3-D Folded Loop, or simply the 3-DFL, is a one-wavelength loop that is reduced in height and width by being folded into three dimensions. A 28-MHz loop that is normally 9 feet on a side becomes a box-shaped antenna that is 3 by 3 by 5 feet. It exhibits performance that is competitive with a ground plane yet requires only 15 square feet of ground area versus 50 for the ground plane. So, compared to a ground plane it is only 60% as tall and has a footprint only 30% as large. And the 2-meter 3-DFL is so compact it can be placed on a table and connected to your HT for added range and reduced RF at the operating position. 1 3-DFL Theory of Operation The familiar one-wavelength square loop is shown in Fig. 1 and is fed in the center of one vertical wire. Note that the current in the vertical wires is high while the current in the horizontal wires and is low.

  • Compact Planar Four-Sector Antenna Comprising Patch Yagi-Uda Arrays in a Square Configuration
    COMPACT PLANAR FOUR-SECTOR ANTENNA COMPRISING PATCH YAGI-UDA ARRAYS IN A SQUARE CONFIGURATION Naoki HONMA, Fumio KIRA, Tamami MARUYAMA, Keizo CHO NTT Network Innovation Laboratories, NTT Corporation 1-1 Hikari-no-oka, Yokosuka, Kanagawa 239-0847, Japan E-mail: [email protected] 1. Introduction A sector antenna reduces multipath fading and interference in broadband wireless communications [1], [2]. Recently, planar-type sector antennas have been studied that employ monopole Yagi-Uda antennas, patch Yagi-Uda antennas, or slot array antennas, and the feasibility of planar sector antennas has been clarified [3]-[5]. The planar antenna is effective for a portable terminal; however, smaller antennas are needed so that they can be used in recent compact user terminals. However, it is difficult to downsize the sector antenna because each sector requires individual array elements. A planar multi-sector antenna employing the patch Yagi-Uda array, whose parasitic elements are commonly shared between other sectors, achieves a significant size reduction [6]. However, the termination conditions of the non-active feed elements of other sectors must be controlled properly to prevent reductions in gain and the front-to-back (F/B) ratio, which are caused by the oscillation of the non-active feed elements. Due to this, the control circuit is complex. Moreover, the switch for changing termination has an insertion loss. In this paper, a simple four-sector antenna configuration is proposed that has a square configuration of patch Yagi-Uda arrays and has common parasitic elements with terminations at the corners of the square. The square arrangement of four patch Yagi-Uda arrays and commonly shared elements enable downsizing of the antenna, and the termination of commonly shared element enables high F/B without the control circuit.

  • The Classic Rain-Gutter Loop Antenna – Is It Any Good?
    The Classic Rain-Gutter Loop Antenna – Is it any Good? A simple technical look at an HF horizontal loop of wire strung around your house at rain-gutter height, plus. some novel loop disguise techniques. By John Portune W6NBC Compromise disguise antennas are no strangers to hams, especially on HF. But which ones are worth the effort? We often just put them up and hope for the best. But when I moved to a CC&R restrictive mobile home park recently, I wanted better answers, particularly for the classic rain-gutter loop, Figure 1. I couldn’t put up more of an HF antenna without the neighbors noticing. But was it any good, or only little more than a dummy load? Figure 1: Classic rain-gutter-height loop, elevated on standoffs (stylized for emphasis) To find out, I challenged the rain-gutter loop with EZNEC antenna modeling software. This required best-case and worst-caswe models to encompass most house variables: (1) two loop heights, (2) two house types and (3) several bands. These would place most houses somewhere within these limits. Loop heights were: 10 ft. (rain-gutter height) and 25 ft. (a more conventional loop height). House types were: all wood (best case) and stucco/chicken wire (worst case). Bands were: 40M, 20M and 10M. Why didn’t I include 80M and 160M? Well, I did at first, but right up front, EZNEC revealed something very important about horizontal loops – Rule of Thumb 1. RULE OF THUMB 1 To be efficient, a closed loop must have a perimeter greater than one wavelength (1λ) on the lowest band in use.

  • 3.1Loop Antennas All Antennas Used Radiating Elements That Were Linear Conductors
    SECX1029 ANTENNAS AND WAVE PROPAGATION UNIT III SPECIAL PURPOSE ANTENNAS PREPARED BY: MS.L.MAGTHELIN THERASE 3.1Loop Antennas All antennas used radiating elements that were linear conductors. It is also possible to make antennas from conductors formed into closed loops. Thereare two broad categories of loop antennas: 1. Small loops which contain no morethan 0.086λ wavelength,s of wire 2. Large loops, which contain approximately 1 wavelength of wire. Loop antennas have the same desirable characteristics as dipoles and monopoles in that they areinexpensive and simple to construct. Loop antennas come in a variety of shapes (circular,rectangular, elliptical, etc.) but the fundamental characteristics of the loop antenna radiationpattern (far field) are largely independent of the loop shape.Just as the electrical length of the dipoles and monopoles effect the efficiency of these antennas,the electrical size of the loop (circumference) determines the efficiency of the loop antenna.Loop antennas are usually classified as either electrically small or electrically large based on thecircumference of the loop. electrically small loop = circumference λ/10 electrically large loop - circumference λ The electrically small loop antenna is the dual antenna to the electrically short dipole antenna.
