Abstract
The article presents a triple-wideband antenna for microwave energy harvesting (EH) applications. The antenna works from 1.1 GHz to 1.4 GHz with 300 MHz of bandwidth, 1.5 GHz to 2.2 GHz with 700 MHz of frequency, and 2.4 GHz to 2.67 GHz with 270 MHz of bandwidth. The proposed antenna is capable of receiving microwave energy from the 1.2 GHz band, the GSM 1800 MHz band, the UTMS 2100 MHz band, and the ISM 2450 MHz band. The intended antenna is analysed for various parameters in these frequency bands. Radiation efficiency at 1.25 GHz is 99%, at 1.8 GHz is 98% at 2.1 GHz is 96%, and at 2.45 GHz is 73%. The antenna gain achieved at these frequencies is 2.5 dBi, 3.6 dBi, 4.4 dBi, and 2 dBi, respectively. The VSWR is less than 2 in the entire band of operation. The impedance of the antenna is 49 Ω at 1.25 GHz, 47 Ω at 1.8 GHz, 51 Ω at 2.1 GHz, and 58 Ω at 2.45 GHz. Due to these characteristics, the intended antenna is suitable for microwave energy harvesting applications.
