Printed Circuit Converts RF Energy to dc Power
Abstract
Ultra-light-weight, large area, antenna/rectifier has 85 percent conversion efficiency. System consists of large number of repetitive circuits called "rectenna elements." Each element produces 2 W of power, comprises half-wave dipole, input filter, and Schottky barrier dipole. Two-wire microwave transmission lines act as dc power collecting buses.
