Abstract
A rectenna device includes an antenna circuit and a rectifier circuit, the antenna circuit is in a traveling-wave rampart shape. The antenna circuit may include a ground conductor layer, a microstrip line in a zigzag shape, and a dielectric layer. The antenna circuit may be in a monopole shape formed by the rectifier circuit and the microstrip line, and the microstrip line is in an aperiodic structure. The antenna circuit may be in a dipole shape with a first microstrip line and a second microstrip line formed on both sides of the rectifier circuit, and the first microstrip line and the second microstrip line are in a mutually asymmetric structure.
