Abstract
Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) has recently gained significant attention as promising technology for Internet of Things (IoT). SWIPT enables autonomous IoT nodes with simultaneous energy harvesting (EH) and information transfer (IT) capabilities. For implementation in current compact IoT nodes, the SWIPT system should allow maximum integration of EH and IT chains in small footprint. Proposed work caters to such requirement by establishing planar integration of antenna with metasurface for SWIPT, where metasurface and antenna caters to the EH and IT chain respectively, with high isolation between them. A miniaturized rectifier smaller than the size of the metasurface unit cell is also demonstrated in this work, which allows easy implementation of EH chain. A parasitic slot radiator loaded patch is proposed as antenna element for IT chain, which provides near omni-directional radiation pattern with high gain. The design of the proposed work is carried out at 2.45 GHz frequency. The metasurface is demonstrated in experiment with radiation to AC conversion efficiency close to 90 %, whereas, miniaturized rectifier provides more than 40% rectification efficiency at power as low as -10 dBm. Antenna for IT chain demonstrates peak gain of 7 dBi in experiment with near omni-directional radiation pattern.
期刊介绍:
AEÜ is an international scientific journal which publishes both original works and invited tutorials. The journal''s scope covers all aspects of theory and design of circuits, systems and devices for electronics, signal processing, and communication, including:
signal and system theory, digital signal processing
network theory and circuit design
information theory, communication theory and techniques, modulation, source and channel coding
switching theory and techniques, communication protocols
optical communications
microwave theory and techniques, radar, sonar
antennas, wave propagation
AEÜ publishes full papers and letters with very short turn around time but a high standard review process. Review cycles are typically finished within twelve weeks by application of modern electronic communication facilities.
