Analysis and Synthesis of Double Negative Dielectric Media Rectenna Systems for Ambient Microwave Energy Harvesting

Table 3

Results versus DoA, of the “Dipole 1,” positioned in front of the DNG and in free space, when connected to the full wave rectifier. Proportion of the magnitude of the average total power , available to the rectifier (). The values are averaged over the UMTS band, and the rectifier’s output is connected to the by which maximum is obtained.
