The design proposed and fabricated in this paper is a slotted wide-band rectenna with the inclusion of Defected Ground Structure (DGS) which can harvest RF energy in the frequency range of 5.336–6.194[Formula: see text]GHz with a center frequency of 5.8[Formula: see text]GHz. For the development of antenna, FR4 substrate having a dielectric permittivity of 4.3 has been adopted. Two parallel slots on the patch are incorporated on either side of the feed line to obtain the wide-band structure. Dumbbell-shaped DGS is also incorporated exactly underneath the feed line to increase the gain of the antenna. HSMS-285C Schottky diode has been used for the implementation of the rectifier circuit and a Greinacher voltage doubler has been chosen. ADS design software has been used for rectifier simulation and CST has been used for the designing of the antenna. Current behavior on the patch can be investigated to explore the wide-band mechanism. The antenna operates in the frequency range of 5.336–6.194[Formula: see text]GHz and with VSWR less than 2, which corresponds to 16.07% impedance bandwidth. The antenna achieves a gain of 6.189[Formula: see text]dB and a directivity of 8.776[Formula: see text]dBi. The conversion efficiency of the rectifier was optimized to 75% at 5.8[Formula: see text]GHz. The proposed design gave an output of 3.2[Formula: see text]V which can be used under numerous energy harvesting and wireless power transmission applications.

The paper presents a wideband 3-dB quadrature coupler designed for operation at 2 GHz. The presented coupler is based on a broadside-coupled suspended structure in combination with a proposed defected ground structure (DGS) allowing for high power, wide-band and improved harmonic suppression performance. The experimental results show 0.2 dB of insertion loss, return loss of better than 18 dB and isolation of better than 25 dB in the frequency range from 1.74 to 2.67 GHz. The proposed coupler is able to be integrated in the status data transmitting system, which is suitable for vessel monitoring. The fundamental characteristics of the implemented coupler have been measured and verified.


This paper describes a tree structure antenna with defected ground structure & CPW feeding. In this proposed antenna, Swasthik layer defected ground structure has been considered to achieve wide-band & ultra-wideband (UWB) characteristics for impedance matching. The simulation bandwidth matching from S11<-10dB and frequency from 5GHz-20GHz. The Swasthik shape antenna is designed for the enhancement of multiband frequency applicable for L-band, D-band & SHF-band. The antenna performance evaluating the dense antenna that is applicable for portable communication devices.
