Abstract

In the usage of microelectronic components such as sensors, generally small size cell is required and it needs replacement time to time when the cell is discharged. Here it can be predicted the theoretical analysis to operate the small sensors without replacing cells by using rectenna. This is the best alternative for the operation of low-power microelectronic components. In this paper, the sigma-structured antenna is used which is able to operate in two frequencies which are 0.96 and 2.12 GHz. In this regard, it has been analyzed the amount of received power at 0.96 GHz frequency.
