Abstract :
This paper describes the implementation of an efficient transparent log spiral antenna for energy harvesting. The proposed antenna is a wide band antenna with circular polarization which is integrated with solar panels. The goal is to implement an efficient technique to collect RF energy without degrading the performance of the solar cell.
