Abstract

The invention discloses a reconfigurable rectifying antenna with a wide beam pattern and belongs to the technical field of microwave antennas. The solution of the present invention slots the parasitic patch and installs the switch. By controlling the state of the switch, the receiving antenna can realize thirteen different radiation patterns: one kind of omnidirectional radiation and twelve kinds of wide-beam directional radiation. The invention discloses a rectification circuit with a complex impedance compression network, so that stable and high rectification efficiency can be realized under the condition of changing input power. For the situation where the incoming wave direction is unknown or the incoming wave direction is not fixed, the present invention can control the switch state through the microprocessor, so that the receiving antenna can scan the space omnidirectionally, so as to determine the incoming wave direction, and switch to the highest DC power output working mode. The invention has simple structure and convenient tuning, and can be applied to a microwave energy transmission system with multiple transmitting antennas and unknown transmitting antenna positions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microwave antennas, and in particular relates to a reconfigurable rectifying antenna with a wide beam pattern. Background technique [0002] Microwave energy transmission is an energy transmission method that converts electricity into microwaves and transmits them in the form of radiation. As an important receiving part of microwave energy transmission, the rectenna consists of two parts: the receiving antenna and the rectifying circuit, which are used to receive microwave energy and convert it into DC. In order to output more DC energy, the transmitting antenna usually emits a narrow beam with high gain and good directivity. If the receive antenna is also a narrow beam, the receive and transmit antennas are not easily aligned. If the beams of the receive and transmit antennas are misaligned, the output DC energy is greatly reduced. To solve the beam alignment problem, a wide beam rectenna is required....
