Abstract

In this paper, a high efficiency 2.45 GHz rectenna with a microstrip patch antenna and a dual-mode band-pass filter in which the 2nd and 3rd harmonics are suppressed, is presented. From the experimental results, the 2.45GHz rectenna using 3rd harmonic suppressed dual-mode BPF shows the conversion efficiency of 41.6% with incident power density of 0.3 mW/cm2 and the received power of 1.66 mW. This result shows high conversion efficiency because the received power of this rectenna is lower than other rectennas to be compared with. This rectenna can be applied to the WPT (Wireless Power Transmission) field for energy harvesting. Also, it is expected to be used to provide the stand-by power for the low power devices for USN, and wireless power transfer in sensor application of MEMS devices.

본 논문에서는 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나와 2차 및 3차 고조파가 억압된 이중모드 대역통과 여파기를 이용하여 고효율의 2.45 GHz 렉테나를 설계 및 제작하였다. 입사전력밀도가 0.3 mW/cm2 일 때 1.66 mW 의 전력을 수신하였고, 41.6%의 RF-to-DC 변환효율의 실험 결과를 얻었다. 이는 입사 전력이 작기 때문에 다른 논문의 결과와 비교하여 고효율이라고 볼 수 있다. 또한 무선전력 전송을 통하여 다양한 응용기술 개발에 활용이 가능할 것으로 예측되며, USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network)용 저전력 소자의 대기전원 공급 및 MEMS용 Sensor 등의 구동전압공급을 위한 무선 전력전송이 가능하게 될 것으로 기대된다.
