Abstract :
In this paper, a differential rectenna with matching shorted stubs is proposed and experimentally evaluated. The shorted stub improves the rectenna´s performance by achieving the impedance matching between an antenna and a diode. A 3-dB improvement of RF-to-DC conversion was obtained under the low RF power density of 0.006 W/m2.
