Abstract: In this paper a fractal antenna for RF energy harvesting system has been proposed. In this design stacked structure of three layers with air medium has been presented. This antenna is specially designed for TV transmission as well as GSM mobile application in band of 700 GHz and 900 GHz respectively. Electromagnetic energy can be harvested and renewable energy can be generated using rectifier and DC motor, that can be a source of electrical power. As proposed antenna has significant amount of efficiency, so antenna will work very efficiently for harvesting RF energy from unbounded media. Proposed antenna has been designed and simulated using IE3D EM simulator.
