Abstract
This paper addresses different cases of radio frequency harvesting using different antenna types as
transmitting antenna but using just the lead of the capacitor as the wire antenna at the receiving end
with a voltage rectifier circuit. Different antennas were used in the input and with two different
rectification circuits the conversion efficiencies were studied accordingly. For a source of log periodic
antenna, without any antenna, 27.31% RF-DC power conversion efficiency value was obtained at the
far-field. For a source of half wavelength dipole antenna, at the near-field, 50.53% RF-DC power
conversion efficiency value was obtained. For a source of helical antenna, up to 5 cm distance about
14.78% RF-DC power conversion efficiency was observed. For the Yagi-Uda antenna used as a source,
RF-DC power conversion efficiency that was obtained at the far was 28.89% without any receiving
antenna..
