This report presents an investigation on how to improve the current dual-band antenna to enhance the better result of the antenna parameters for energy harvesting application. Besides that, to develop a new design and validate the antenna frequencies that will operate at 2.4 GHz and 5.4 GHz. At 5.4 GHz, more data can be transmitted compare to 2.4 GHz. However, 2.4 GHz has long distance of radiation, so it can be used when far away from the antenna module compare to 5 GHz that has short distance in radiation. The development of this project includes the scope of designing and testing of antenna using computer simulation technology (CST) 2018 software and vector network analyzer (VNA) equipment. In the process of designing, fundamental parameters of antenna are being measured and validated, in purpose to identify the better antenna performance.

In this paper, we focus on ambient radio frequency energy available from commercial broadcasting stations in order to provide a system based on RF energy harvesting using a new design of receiving antenna. Several antenna designs have been proposed for use in RF energy harvesting systems, as a pertinent receiving antenna design is highly required since the antenna features can affect the amount of energy harvested. The proposed antenna is aimed at greatly increasing the energy harvesting efficiency over Wi-Fi bands: 2.45 GHz and 5 GHz. This provides a promising alternative energy source in order to power sensors located in harsh environments or remote places, where other energy sources are impracticable. The dual-band antenna can be easily integrated with RF energy harvesting system on the same circuit board. Simulations and measurements were carried out to evaluate the antenna performances and investigate the effects of different design parameters on the antenna performance. The receiving antenna meets the required bandwidth specification and provides peak gain of more than 4 dBi across the operating band.

A single-port dual-band antenna integrated with solar cells is reported for the 2.4/5-GHz wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. Thirty solar cells are adopted and integrated into the antenna structure for both energy harvesting and wireless communication. The solar cells can act as a director for the lower band, and the main radiation structure for the higher band. The slot and microstrip antennas are incorporated into the compact structure and multiple resonant modes are utilized for dual-band performance. The measurement results show that the lower band is from 2.27 to 2.5 GHz with an omnidirectional radiation pattern and the upper band is from 4.8 to 6.9 GHz with a directional radiation pattern. The proposed solar cell antenna can provide a dual-band performance with the ability of DC power generation, which can be a potential candidate for future green low-carbon communication.

A compact, wide dual-band antenna designed to resonate at 2.25 GHz and 5.4 GHz is proposed in this paper. The proposed antenna is a monopole rectangular patch designed to operate at 5 GHz. This basic structure is modified by introducing a metamaterial-based interdigital capacitor reactive loading that exhibits dual-band characteristics at 2.25 GHz and 5.4 GHz. A bandwidth greater than 1.4 GHz at the two resonant frequencies is obtained. The compact size of the proposed antenna is 0.0989λ<sub>0</sub> × 0.0498λ<sub>0</sub>, where λ<sub>0</sub> is calculated at the first resonance. The antenna is etched on a FR4 substrate with dielectric constant <i>ɛ</i><sub><i>r</i></sub> = 4.4 and thickness of 1.6 mm. The simulated results exhibit considerable gain and wide impedance bandwidth at the resonant frequencies. Monopole-like radiation patterns are obtained at both the operating frequencies. The designed antenna can be applied in wireless local area networks and Wi-MAX wireless communications.
