Development of radio frequency energy harvesting module

Energy harvesting is the need of the hour to operate small, portable and low power electronic devices for self-reliance. We focus our research on radio frequency energy harvesting. We have designed micro strip patch antenna to operate at 2.4GHz. We have analyzed the capture of ambient radio frequency energy at various physical locations. We have successfully demonstrated the RF energy harvesting technique proposed for operating devices like LED, scientific calculator and battery charging. In this paper we have verified the RF energy harvesting technique through simulation and experiments.
