Abstract

With the escalating demand for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and the Internet of Things (IoT), there is a growing need for sustainable and autonomous power solutions to energize low-powered devices. Consequently, there is a critical imperative to mitigate dependency on batteries during passive operation. This paper proposes the conceptual framework of rectenna architecture-based radio frequency energy harvesters� performance, specifically optimized for low-power device applications. The proposed prototype utilizes the surroundings� Wi-Fi signals within the 2.4 GHz frequency band. The design integrates a seven-stage Cockroft-Walton rectifier featuring a Schottky diode HSMS286C and MA4E2054B1-1146T, a low-pass filter, and a fractal antenna. Preliminary simulations conducted using Advanced Design System (ADS) reveal that a voltage of 3.53 V can be harvested by employing a 1.57 mm thickness Rogers 5880 printed circuit board (PCB) substrate with an MA4E2054B1-1146T rectifier prototype, given a minimum power input of �10 dBm (0.1 mW). Integrating the fabricated rectifier and fractal antenna successfully yields a 1.5 V DC output from Wi-Fi signals, demonstrable by illuminating a red LED. These findings underscore the viability of deploying a fractal antenna-based radio frequency (RF) harvester for empowering small electronic devices. © 2024 by the authors.
