Abstract

This paper presents several designs of multiband and solar rectennas. The procedure in order to perform multiband optimization of rectenna elements is presented and two design examples of 850 MHz/1850 MHz and 915 MHz/2.45 GHz dual band rectennas are discussed. Additionally, two designs of compact solar rectennas where the solar cells share the area of the radiating element in the rectenna structure are shown one of them operating in the 850 MHz/1850 MHz bands and the other at 2.45 GHz.
