Abstract:
In the recent days, the usage of wireless communication plays vital role in this electronic world. The utilization of RF signals from sources is more. These RF signals can be utilized and converted as usable DC power by using rectenna. This paper presents design of rectenna for 900MHz (GSM band) frequency. The received signal is matched with voltage multiplier circuit for RF to DC conversion and high voltage output. Villard voltage multiplier circuit is used. The designed antenna radiates 3.576dB power at 900MHz.The rectification has single stage voltage multiplier gives 2.688V with the maximum input value of 181mV and minimum input value of 1.456mV. By using single stage voltage multiplier, the output voltage is 4.139V with maximum input value of 181mV, minimum input value of 7.99mV Advanced Design System (ADS 2008) is used for simulation.
