Abstract :
In this paper a 5.8-GHz current aggregation type multi-polarization rectenna is proposed. The proposed rectenna is based on the previously reported 5.8-GHz multi-polarization rectenna integrating four dual-polarized antennas. The proposed new multi-polarization rectenna is experimentally examined and its performance is evaluated. The RF-DC conversion efficiency was better than 40% regardless of the polarization angle.
