abstract = {The need for electronic devices usage has risen significantly over the years. This has in turn generated greater demands for electricity and in addition for green energy sources. These include Radio-Frequency (RF) energy harvesting. In this concept we design a rectifier circuit for RF to DC conversion suitable for operation at sub-6 GHz 5G bands. Such a circuit can be used to supply low-power electronic devices. The proposed rectifier works at the frequency band FR1 of 5G cellular network and more specifically at 3.5 GHz. The most important problem in the RF energy harvesters is low system efficiency, something that limits the popularity of the power harvest. The proposed design is found to be highly efficient in its current form. Numerical results show that the system in a single-tone signal provides maximum power conversion efficiency equal to 42.5% when the load of the circuit is 1.1 KΩ and the input power reaches 9 dBm. The presented rectifier circuit performs better or equally with similar designs in the literature.},

abstract = {Nowadays electricity is undoubtedly one of the most important goods. Over the years, the dependence of people on electrical devices has sharply increased. The need for continuous use of these devices has created greater demand for electricity as well as more efficient transmission techniques. Environmental energy scavenging, as well as wireless transmission, is an increasing research field during the last years. The use of Radio Frequency (RF) Energy Harvesting (EH) technique contributes to the development of autonomous energy devices and sensors, to reduce the need of supplying them with power by using batteries or the mains. In this paper, the state-of-the-art technologies of radio frequency energy harvesting are discussed and analyzed. © 2020 IEEE.},

abstract = {As wireless power transfer (WPT) systems emerge, the efficiency and achievable transmitting distance are two constraining factors for their prevalence over wired ones. In this paper, two split ring resonator (SRR)-based WPT configurations, with circular and square SRRs, as their transmitting and receiving elements, are investigated for various frequencies and distances. The efficiency is found to be very satisfactory in both cases, exceeding 98% for certain sets of parameters. Thus, the general response of both arrangements seems to be promising for effective power transfer over distances of a few centimeters. © 2017 IEEE.},
