Abstract: Design of rectenna, a key component in wireless
power supply, is important for efficient wireless power transmission
technology. However, its simulation of rectenna is not so easy because it
consists of a microstrip antenna and a rectification circuit, which requires
different simulation regimes. In this paper, a coplanar dipole rectenna is
simulated by bridging its antenna simulation and rectification circuit
simulation. The antenna simulation result is used for the rectification
circuit simulation. The simulation results are verified by fabricating and
testing the dipole rectenna. Detailed simulation scheme and its experimental
verification are explained.
