Abstract
This article presents the results of a research project, in which a system for harvesting Radio Frequency energy in the Wi-Fi frequency and a system for harvesting solar energy were developed, later they were connected. The two voltage sources collected in series to add them and an MT3608 circuit was added to its output, to have a regulated voltage between 5 to 27 V at the system output and charge a 3.7 V lithium battery at 300 mA, and a 9 V battery. The antenna that was designed was a patch-type Sierpinski carpet until the second interaction, which together with a two-stage Cockcroft Walton multiplier is improved to acquire up to 254 mV, the solar panel on the other hand was a 6 V at 150 mA, when implementing the entire system, 27 V were acquired at the output, a voltage that, thanks to the MT3608 regulator, can be regulated to obtain a sufficiently voltage at the output of the system. To carry out several systems loads tests in different day conditions such as: cloudy, sunny and at night, managing to charge 90% 3.7 V and 9 V batteries in 4 h. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
