Dispenser printed flexible rectenna for dual-ISM band high-efficiency supercapacitor charging
This paper presents a dual-band sub-1 GHz rectenna for near and far-field powering of Internet of Things(IoT) nodes. The rectifier is based on a coplanar waveguide (CPW) voltage doubler with inductive matching, achieving over 80% power conversion efficiency (PCE) at 10 dBm and 915 MHz.The rectifier is designed to directly charge a 6.8 mF supercapacitor with no DC power management circuitry or load tracking, achieving the highest reported average charging efficiency of47.2% and 33.3%, at 433 and 915 MHz respectively. From6 dBm input power, a 1.5-2.8 mA dummy load can be RF-powered with over 30% duty-cycle at 915 MHz. A dual-band single-layer antenna is designed and fabricated using dispenser printing on a flexible polyimide substrate. The antenna maintains over 2.1 dBi gain at 915 MHz with omnidirectional patterns, whileoccupying under 10×10 cm. The integrated rectenna is evaluatedin two real-world applications: energy harvesting from a 915MHz transmitter showing a 49% wireless charging efficiency for a 7.4μW/cm2incident power density; and ambient energy harvesting generating 47 mJ in 5 seconds at 3 to 5 cm from ahandheld two-way radio.

Abstract
This paper presents a dual-band sub-1 GHz rectenna for near and far-field powering of Internet of Things(IoT) nodes. The rectifier is based on a coplanar waveguide (CPW) voltage doubler with inductive matching, achieving over 80% power conversion efficiency (PCE) at 10 dBm and 915 MHz.The rectifier is designed to directly charge a 6.8 mF supercapacitor with no DC power management circuitry or load tracking, achieving the highest reported average charging efficiency of47.2% and 33.3%, at 433 and 915 MHz respectively. From6 dBm input power, a 1.5-2.8 mA dummy load can be RF-powered with over 30% duty-cycle at 915 MHz. A dual-band single-layer antenna is designed and fabricated using dispenser printing on a flexible polyimide substrate. The antenna maintains over 2.1 dBi gain at 915 MHz with omnidirectional patterns, whileoccupying under 10×10 cm. The integrated rectenna is evaluatedin two real-world applications: energy harvesting from a 915MHz transmitter showing a 49% wireless charging efficiency for a 7.4μW/cm2incident power density; and ambient energy harvesting generating 47 mJ in 5 seconds at 3 to 5 cm from ahandheld two-way radio.
