High-Gain Circularly Polarized Antenna Array for Full Incident Angle Coverage in RF Energy Harvesting
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, a high-gain circularly polarized (CP) hexagonal antenna array is proposed for RF energy-harvesting applications. The hexagonal antenna array is intended to operate at the frequency of 5.8 GHz. It is composed of 6 multilayer substrate CP antennas excited by an X-shaped aperture-coupling feed structure. A frequency selective surface (FSS) was added to further improve the gain, resulting in a maximum gain of 12.7 dBi per element. The main advantage of the proposed hexagonal antenna array is the ability to cover 360 degrees in the azimuth plane with a high gain in all directions without the use of any additional circuitry, allowing the effective absorption of ambient RF energy. A prototype was fabricated and measured, and a good agreement with the simulation results is achieved. In addition, a rectifier is used to convert RF energy absorbed by the antenna into DC energy at the frequency of 5.8 GHz. The measured RF-to-DC conversion efficiency of 44.5% and a DC output voltage of 423 mV at -10 dBm are observed. The performance of the rectenna array with one and six rectifiers has been demonstrated. With the use of a DC combiner, the total RF to DC efficiency of the array is 67.75%, with a DC output voltage of 1.115 V from -10 dBm has been recorded. Due to the immunity to misalignment of the CP antenna, the proposed rectenna array is very suitable for wireless power transfer (WPT).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
