Abstract
In this paper, we investigate a metamaterial- inspired small rectenna (rectifying antenna) system for microwave energy harvesting and wireless power transfer at 5.8 GHz. We also study the received-power maximization technique using an array of antennas connected to a single load by an optimal RF power combiner. This investigation is done both in simulation and experiment. The power combiner is embedded between the metamaterial- inspired antennas and the load (including rectifier) for maximizing the power, harvested by the input antennas and to deliver it to the load in the most optimal way. Moreover, we design and test proof-of-concept prototypes of the main components of the investigated energy harvesting systems. The similarity between the simulation and the experimental results also confirms our method of investigation.
