A new rectenna circuit using a bow-tie antenna for the conversion of microwave power to dc powerThe novel rectenna circuit presented, which integrated a bowtie antenna with a diode, is capable of broadband, high-efficiency operation, and is insensitive to incident field angle. The device is noted, moreover, to behave as a lowpass filter for dc output. For 2.45 GHz operation, a 79-percent conversion efficiency has been demonstrated.
