Wide Band Antennas for Energy Harvesting

This work shows the design and manufacture of two compact, low-cost, frequency-independent antennas in microstrip technology that operate within a very wide frequency range for electromagnetic energy harvesting applications, which were optimized with the help of the CST software and manufactured on FR4, the operating frequencies are established mainly within the range of the spectrum, where the different cellular operators have been concessioned for 2G, 3G, 4G LTE technology in Ecuador, and even WIFI which is currently the band of greater use, with very wide bandwidths, which allows the effective collection of electromagnetic energy for frequencies of greater presence and more used in the Ecuadorian territory. © 2022, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
