In this paper, a rectenna for wireless power transmission at 900MHz is proposed. Rectenna is a device transforming RF power into DC power and it may consist of a antenna, rectifying and charging circuits. In this paper, we designed a slot antenna to receive 900MHz signal, a rectifying circuit of about 40% efficiency at 0dBm input, and a charging circuit to store a weak power signal and supply constant voltage to load. From the experiment using a RFID reader as a transmitter for 1W power, it was found that the proposed rectenna receiving about 0dBm power can supply 3.3V constant voltage to 50$k{\Omega}$ load during 280sec.

In this paper, a new rectenna is presented for the wireless transmission of microwave power using dipole antenna (Quasi Yagi effect) and rectifier of CPS resonator structure. The dipole antenna with CPW feedline has high peak gain than a general dipole antenna. A ground plane of CPW is used to reflect a dipole as a Yagi antenna. Therefore, the new rectenna receives the RF power better than the one using general dipole. A RF-to-DC conversion efficiency of 61 % using a 1.4 $k{\Omega}$ load resistor is obtained at 5.8 GHz.

In this paper, the rectenna converting 2.45[GHz] microwave into DC power is designed and fabricated for wireless power transmission using microwave and the methode for impedance matching and tuning are proposed in order to maximize RF-DC conversion efficiency. The fabricated rectenna can be easily tuned by using a broad open stub and has the RF-DC conversion efficiency up to 59[%] when the 5[dBm] input power is applied. The 2.2[V], 1.5[mW] DC level, in the 1[m] distance between the transmitter and the receiver can be obtained and this value is avaliable in the small power digital system.

In this paper, a new broadband rectenna is presented for the wireless transmission of microwave power. The new broadband rectenna element is based on a new printed monopole broadband antenna with size reduction using surface current distribution and a new broadband stub bandpass filter with suppression of second harmonics. A RF-to-DC conversion efficiency of 80% using a 270 ohm load resistor is obtain at 2.45 GHz. Also, a conversion efficiency of above 50 % is maintained from 1.8 GHz to 2.8 GHz.

This paper presents a study on a rectenna for rectification of incident low power microwave signals with power densities less than 2 mW/$cm^2$ at 2.45 GHz. The proposed rectenna is designed and implemented by a rectifier with voltage doubler structure and a printed Yagi antenna which suppress re-radiation of the second order harmonic of fundamental frequency. The printed Yagi antenna has a gain of about 5 dB, and the measured conversion efficiencies of the rectenna are from 32 % to 42 % when its incident power levels are from 0 dBm to 14 dBm. The developed rectenna is expected to be useful in the power transmission system.

In this paper, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is adopted to design a modified ring-slot type patch rectenna with a resonance frequency of 2.45GHz. In order to accomplish minimization of dimensions and circular polarization (CP) and harmonic suppression, axial direction slits and side-cuts are added to the patch of the ring. The PSO manipulated this kind of multi-dimensional problem very well, and as a result, the designed rectenna shows a desirable performance of return loss of 21.36dB and axial ratio of 2.92dB at the frequency of 2.45GHz with compact sizing.

RFID 시스템에서 태그는 리더와 전자기 에너지 교환에 의해 동작을 하며 배터리를 사용하는 active 형 태그와 배터리를 사용하지 않는 passive형 태그로 크게 구분된다. 또한 태그는 자체 회로구조에 의해 harmonic 태그, anharmonic 태그, sequenced amplifier 태그로 나뉜다. Passive 태그에서는 리더의 반송파 backscatter 방식을 이용하여 동작을 하며 active 태그는 자체 발진회로에 의해 태그정보를 송신한다. 태그의 변조방식으로 PSK, FSK, ASK 등을 사용하며 변조방법에 따라 회로 구성과 프로토콜 설계가 달라진다. 또한 리더의 전파 신호를 정류하기 위하여 렉테나(rectenna)가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 태그의 분류, 동작, 구조 등에 관한 일반적인 내용을 기술하였다. 특히 UHF 대역 이상의 태그 기술 최근 추세가 안테나 부분을 제외하고 CMOS one chip화 하는 수준으로서 900 MHz UHF 대역, 2.45 GHz RFID 칩이 상용화 되어 있다. 칩의 내부구조와 태그의 변조방식에 의거한 동작에 관한 개괄적인 내용을 서술하였다.
