A rectenna is a special type of antenna that can A dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is transform microwave energy into useful direct an antenna that usually transmits and receives current (DC). Rectennas are used in the signals above 300 MHz. Antennas are transmission of wireless microwave power. The reciprocal, meaning that their transmission, or density of ambient wireless power is growing radiation, capabilities is equivalent to their with the explosive and rapid growth of wireless reception capabilities. Their high radiation technology as there are an increasing number of efficiency, compact size, and good match to electromagnetic power sources, such as cellular most commonly used transmission lines [2] has EEE12 mobile base stations, digital TV towers, and Wi- where TE is transverse electric, TM is Fi routers. In order to replace the battery and transverse magnetic, and Xnp and X’np denote save maintenance costs [1], the notion of using the roots of the Bessel radio frequency (RF) energy to power low-power functions of the first kind and electronic devices has gained immense of the first order derivatives popularity in recent years.

An advantage of using performance. Our team decided on 3 main rectangular DRA is that it offers more flexibility in shapes: a) Monopole Cylindrical DRA design; b) design compared to cylindrical DRA due to three Rectangular DRA design; c) Conical Cylindrical independent geometrical dimensions; length, DRA design.

At last, the energy from both C1 and about it. Thus, C2 will be discharged to the load resistor R. we decided to Figure 3: Three-dimensional view of Conical Cylindrical Water DRA experiment with the shape to test the feasibility of it in creating wide-band and multi-band water antennas. The height and radius of this DRA is first arbitrarily decided to be 8.00 cm (height), 1.00 cm (lower conical radius) and 0.50 cm (upper conical radius) respectively to allow sufficient depth to achieve our desired resonant frequency. Figure 5: Rectifying Circuit diagram The diodes D1 and D2 we used are BAT54,215 due to its low forward voltage of 800 mV.

The layout of the rectifier is shown in Fig. 6. The simulation produces 2 types of results we want: 1) Graph of reflection coefficient against frequency (S11 graph); 2) Plot of directivity of antenna. The S11 parameter represents how much power is reflected from the antenna, and thus is referred to as the reflection coefficient, or also called return loss. If S11 = 0 dB, then all the power is reflected from the antenna and nothing is radiated. When S11 = -10 dB, if 3 dB of power is delivered to the antenna, -7 dB is the reflected power. The remainder of the power is delivered to the antenna. This accepted power is either radiated or absorbed as loss within the antenna [4]. In short, the lower the value of reflection coefficient, the less power is reflected, and more power is being radiated by the antenna. Only Fig 6: Layout of rectifier.

  • 3794 Series Granger Wideband Conical Monopole Antennas
    3794 Series Granger Wideband Conical Monopole Antennas ● 2-30 MHz Bandwidth permits Frequency change without antenna tuning ● Up to 25 KW average power rating ● 50 Ohm input provides 2.0:1 nominal VSWR without impedance transformers ● Single tower ● Short, medium, long-range communications General Description The Model 3794 series antenna is a vertically polarized, omnidirectional broadband antenna for transmitting or receiving applications. It is designed for high power area coverage. The 3794 Wideband Conical Monopole Antenna is an inverted cone- like structure with it’s apex pointing downwards. The array is supported by a 17 inch (431 mm) face steel guyed tower and consists of a number of evenly spaced radiator wires. The radiators spread out from the tower top to an outer guyed catenary then converge back down at the tower base. The antenna is fed at the apex of the cone through a 50 ohm coaxial connector. A ground screen is laid over the area below the antenna and consists of a radial pattern of wire laid on the ground with it’s centre at the apex of the antenna. The radiating elements of the array are prefabricated to facilitate installation. All radiators are manufactured from aluminum clad steel wire for maximum conductivity and corrosion resistance. The mechanical arrangement provides high strength while keeping both manufacturing and installation costs to a minimum. Application The 3794 Wideband Conical Monopole Antenna Series provides a cost effective solution for the vertical omnidirectional antenna if the reduced ground area offered by the 1794 Monocone is not required. The broad frequency range permits use of the optimum frequency for any distance.

  • Millimeter-Wave Wireless Power Transfer Technology for Space
    Millimeter-Wave Wireless Power Transfer Technology for Space Applications Goutam Chattopadhyay, Harish Manohara, Mohammad Mojarradi, Tuan Vo, Hadi Mojarradi, Sam Bae, Neville Marzwell California Institute of Technology, USA Introduction Technologies enabling the development of compact systems for wireless transfer of power through radio frequency waves (RF) continue to be important for future space based systems. For example, for lunar surface operation, wireless power transfer technology enables rapid on-demand transmission of power to loads (robotic systems, habitats, and others) and eliminates the need for establishing a traditional power grid. A typical wireless power receiver consists of an array of rectenna elements. Each rectenna element consists of an antenna together with a high speed diode and a storage capacitor configured in a highly tuned narrowband circuit for this purpose. The conversion of the microwave energy into DC in this fashion is almost instantaneous. Using a high power rectenna array in concert with a fast charging high performance battery can enable charging of the battery at very short time with a large power burst and discharge of it at a lower rate for an extended operation time for remote electronic assets. Two main factors that determine the physical size of a rectenna based microwave power conversion system are the frequency of the RF transmission and power capacity. At higher frequencies, the size of the antenna elements in the array is small resulting in a smaller form factor for the system. The smaller form factor of the higher frequency wireless power receiver makes them more attractive for space systems; however, higher frequency systems have to deal with (i) availability of high frequency power conversion components, (ii) higher atmospheric loss, and (iii) overall efficiency in antenna arrays and the power conversion network.

Report Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin August 2014 Antenna Design Challenge By Hubert K Ham, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2014 Supervisor: Hao Ling Co-Supervisor: Catherine Riegle-Crumb Abstract In today’s new and changing world, Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) education has come to the forefront of educational reform. The expectation for better prepared workers for today’s technology infused businesses requires a better trained student, not only at the post-secondary level, but also at the secondary level. Today’s student has access to technology that could have only been dreamed of 60 years ago. With this need for higher level skills in the STEM field for the work force, it would only be logical to expose students to aspects of engineering in younger grades, particularly at the high school level. The Antenna Design challenge has been designed to expose students to the engineering process and technology that is relevant to their everyday lives. This report will examine how an engineering challenge can be incorporated into the physics classroom, while observing how different levels of scaffolding affect mastery of the material and implementation of the lesson.
