Abstract :
A slotted circular polarization (CP) textile antenna is designed for radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting system. The antenna composed a circular patch with cross slot at the centre of the patch. a good bandwidth (2.22 GHz-2.59 GHz), axial ratio (2.38 GHz-2.45 GHz) with directivity gain of 7.34 dBi is presented. This paper also presents the performance of the antenna in bending condition to suits with application of rectenna for energy harvesting system and antenna for monitoring system.
