A rectenna is a rectifying antenna, an antenna used to convert microwaves into DC power. Rectennas short for "rectifying antennas" pick up electromagnetic waves much like car antennas. When a rectenna’s antenna receives a signal, it generates oscillating charges that move through attached rectifier diodes. These rectifiers then convert these fluctuations to a direct electric current. Rectenna consists of antenna structure designed to efficiently capture RF energy from the surrounding environment. The antenna’s design is critical for maximizing energy capture efficiency, which depends on factors such as frequency, polarization and directionality of the incoming RF waves. Rectenna plays a crucial role in wireless power transfer systems, enabling the transmission of energy over long distances without the need of physical connectors or cables. This technology is gaining traction in various industries, including consumer electronics, automotive and healthcare. With the increasing demand for energy efficient solutions, rectennas are being employed to harvest energy from ambient RF sources. This can range from harvesting energy from Wi-Fi signal in urban environments to capturing energy from radio waves in remote locations. The harvested electrical energy may be stored in batteries, supercapacitors, or other energy storage devices for later use. Energy stored is particularly important in applications where the harvested energy is intermittent or where a continuous power supply is required. The harvested energy can power small electronic devices, sensors, or even low power IoT devices. As IoT continues to expand, there is a growing need for energy efficient and self-powered devices. Rectennas offer a proper solution by enabling these devices to harvest energy from their surrounding environment, reducing or eliminating the need for battery replacement.
