Rectennas for RF Energy Harvesting Applications (Paperback)

Paperback. As the demand for sustainable and self-powered electronic systems continues to grow, RF energy harvesting has emerged as a promising solution for powering next-generation wireless devices. At the heart of this technology lies the rectenna-a combination of an antenna and rectifying circuit capable of capturing ambient radio frequency energy and converting it into usable DC power.Rectennas for RF Energy Harvesting Applications provides a comprehensive overview of rectenna technologies, covering fundamental principles, design methodologies, performance optimization techniques, and emerging developments in the field. The book explores antenna architectures, rectifier circuits, impedance matching networks, integration strategies, and efficiency enhancement techniques required for effective RF energy harvesting.Through detailed discussions, practical design examples, simulation studies, and recent research advances, this book highlights the role of rectennas in enabling self-sustainable wireless sensor networks, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, wearable electronics, smart city infrastructures, and low-power communication systems.Designed for researchers, graduate students, academicians, and practicing engineers, this book serves as a valuable resource for understanding and developing high-performance rectenna systems for future wireless energy harvesting applications.
