The main challenge faced by RF energy harvesting systems is to supply relatively small electrical power to wireless sensor devices using microwaves. The solution is to implement a new device in a circularly polarized rectenna with circular polarization sensitivity integrated with a thin-film solar cell. Its dual-feed antennas are connected to a 2 × 4 asymmetric hybrid coupler and a multi-stage voltage doubler rectifier circuit. This configuration has a 2 × 4 asymmetric hybrid coupler used to produce 4 outputs with a 90-degree waveform phase difference. The two ports can independently be connected to the wireless sensor circuit: radiofrequency harvesting of hybrid energy solar and information equipment can be carried out with these two antennas. The Dual-Feed circular patch antenna has a two-port bandwidth of 137 MHz below -15 dB and an axial ratio of less than 3 dB, with a center frequency of 2.4 GHz with directional radiation and a high gain of 8.23 dB. It can be sensitive to arbitrary polarization of the input voltage multiplier waveform to overcome uncertainty in empirical communication environments. A parallel structure is arranged with a thin film solar cell integration from the transmitter with an output voltage of 1.3297 V with a compact composition and RF energy. The importance of adopting a wireless sensor strategy with circular polarization sensitivity and integrated RF solar energy harvesting rather than a single source method makes this research a significant novelty by optimizing the analysis of multiple wireless sensor signal access.
射频能量收集系统面临的主要挑战是利用微波向无线传感器设备提供相对较小的电能。解决方案是在具有圆极化灵敏度的圆极化整流天线中集成薄膜太阳能电池来实现一种新设备。其双馈天线连接到一个2×4非对称混合耦合器和一个多级倍压整流电路。这种配置有一个2×4非对称混合耦合器,用于产生4个具有90度波形相位差的输出。这两个端口可独立连接到无线传感器电路:利用这两个天线可进行太阳能和信息设备混合能量的射频收集。双馈圆形贴片天线在低于-15 dB时具有137 MHz的双端口带宽,轴比小于3 dB,中心频率为2.4 GHz,具有定向辐射和8.23 dB的高增益。它对输入倍压波形的任意极化都敏感,以克服经验通信环境中的不确定性。采用具有圆极化灵敏度和集成射频太阳能收集的无线传感器策略而非单一源方法的重要性,通过优化对多个无线传感器信号接入的分析,使本研究具有显著的新颖性。
