Design rectenna for wireless energy harvesting

There is an increasing interest in energy harvesting. The rectenna, which is a combination of a rectifier and an antenna, is a device to harvest wireless energy in the air. This thesis is concentrated on the analysis, design and measurement of compact rectennas for Wi-Fi (RF) wireless energy harvest...
