Abstract

This paper presents a new rectenna system that combine a patch antenna with a solar cell to capture energy from both radio frequency (RF) signals and sunlight. The patch antenna collects RF signals, while the solar cell converts sunlight into electricity. This integration offers a sustainable energy solution for internet of things (IoT) sensors or drones. The antenna's performance at 26 GHz demonstrates impressive metrics, including a -68 dB S11 reflection, 700 MHz bandwidth, 6.25 dBi gain, 49.8 Ω impedance, and 42.25% RF-DC conversion efficiency. The "solar rectenna" integrates both technologies, driving technological advancement and fostering sustainability in wireless communication.

Abstract

The integration of frequency selective surfaces (FSS) with antennas has gained significant attention due to its ability to enhance key radio frequency (RF) performance parameters such as gain, directivity, and bandwidth, making it highly beneficial for modern wireless communication systems. In this work, we propose and investigate an ultra-wideband (UWB) elliptical antenna operating within the 5.2 to 10 GHz frequency range. To further improve its performance, we integrate the antenna with a 13×13 FSS array. The impact of the FSS on the antenna’s characteristics is analyzed, showing a remarkable gain enhancement from 2.6 dBi (without FSS) to 10.05 dBi (with FSS). These results confirm the effectiveness of FSS integration in optimizing UWB antenna performance, making it a promising approach for advanced wireless communication applications.
