Abstract
A 35-GHz rectenna has been developed with 39% conversion efficiency. The rectenna uses a microstrip dipole antenna and a commercially available mixer diode. Over 60% conversion efficiency was demonstrated using this diode at 10 GHz. A theoretical analysis was derived to predict the performance of the rectenna. The analysis is a useful tool for device and circuit design. The theoretical and experimental results should have many applications in microwave power transmission and detection
