Abstract
This paper presents a circular polarized rectenna based on a leaky wave antenna (LWA). Integrating circular polarization with leaky wave radiation greatly improves energy harvesting by minimizing polarization losses and extending the spatial range of captured RF signals. The LWA exhibits rapid frequency-dependent beam scanning, which is efficient by enabling harvesting RF power at different directions based on the received power direction. The proposed rectenna consists of LWA array integrated with a rectifier circuit and is designed to harvest RF power at the 5G midrange band. The implemented LWA has wide beam scanning angle from − 21 to 29o with a high gain value of 9.8 dBi at 5.3 GHz. A Rectifier circuit correlated with a matching circuit is implemented. The designed matching circuit is based on a wideband compression network to compress the variation ratio of the input impedance.…
