Abstract
Energy harvesting is the process by which energy is derived from external sources captured, and stored for small, wireless autonomous devices, like those used in wearable electronics and wireless sensor networks. This paper presents the design of two textile antenna suitable to harvest energy in the GSM900 and DCS 1800 bands. The antennas gain, are of the order 2 dBi and efficiency 80%.
