Abstract

Harvesting energy from the ambient supply of radio frequency has become a potential area for research in the past few years. This paper presents a three triangular patch antenna designed for multiband RF energy harvesting. Three triangles have been used connected to each other through the feedline. Antenna operates between 5 and 5.5 GHz. The antenna has been used to harvest energy in the range of 50–100 mV in the operational band.
