Energy Harvesting Antenna from Wi-Fi, WiMAX and ISM Bands

This paper presents the energy harvesting antenna with a 1×2 array. The wearable patch array antenna design is illustrated using electro textile materials. Patch array antenna simulations have been conducted using several different materials, including Copper Polyester Taffeta, Shielded Super, and Copper. Because of their low loss tangent and high dielectric constant, jeans is used as the substrate, increasing bandwidth and reducing power loss. Also, compare the simulated and measured array antenna with copper polyester taffeta material. Analyzing the results, it is found that the copper polyester taffeta array antenna provides adequate results good impedance matching network. So, it can be used for energy harvesting application from Wi-Fi, WiMAX, and ISM bands.
