In an RF energy harvesting system, first, the transmitted RF signal propagating through wireless transmission medium is captured by a single antenna or multiple antennas in the far-field region. The impedance matching circuit is used to provide the maximum power transfer. Then, the rectifier converts RF power in direct current (DC).
The overall efficiency (η o v e r a l l) of RF energy harvesting system can be defined as (1) η o v e r a l l = DC output power RF input power. Here, the overall efficiency is the ratio between the DC output power delivered to the load and the RF input power coming into the system.
Certain achievements made to date have made power harvesting a reality, capable of providing alternative sources of energy. This review provides a summ ary of radio frequency (RF) power harvesting technologies in order to serve as a guide for the design of RF energy harvesting units.
The block diagram of an RF energy harvesting system is shown in Fig. 1, including the input-output powers and efficiencies of the blocks. The blocks are transmitter, wireless transmission medium, antenna and matching circuit, rectifier, voltage multiplier, and energy storage device or load.
RF energy harvesting architecture. RF energy harvesting as an energy transfer mechanism can provide a comparatively sustainable supply with easy availability, when compared to other energy harvesting methods (such as vibration, solar, or thermal), and can help meet the energy requirements of IoT-oriented energy-constrained networks.
The review covers the disparate research activities required for RF energy harvesting including dedicated vs. ambient harvesting sources, evaluation metrics, energy propagation models, rectenna architectures, and MAC protocols for RF power harvesting.
