A New Fractal Multiband Antenna for Wireless Power Transmission Applications

الملخص EN

The Microwave Power Transmission (MPT) is the possibility of feeding a system without contact by using microwave energy.

The challenge of such system is to increase the efficiency of transmitted energy from the emitter to the load.

This can be achieved by rectifying the microwave energy using a rectenna system composed of an antenna of a significant gain associated with a rectifier with a good input impedance matching.

In this paper, a new multiband antenna using the microstrip technology and fractal geometry is developed.

The fractal antenna is validated into simulation and measurement in the ISM (industrial, scientific, and medical) band at 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz and it presents a wide aperture angle with an acceptable gain for both bands.

The final antenna is printed over an FR4 substrate with a dimension of 60 × 30 mm2.

These characteristics make the antenna suitable for a multiband rectenna circuit use.
