Abstract

In today's world, through the advancement of technology, wireless communication has become an integral part of our lives with the utilization of versatile electronic devices such as cell phones, tablets, and computers that contain wireless communication modules. The idea of utilizing different frequencies and power of RF signals in the environment has led to the concept of harvesting RF signals to produce DC output voltage. In this paper, a printed multiband monopole antenna is presented. The proposed antenna is composed of two Г-shaped asymmetrically positioned feeding lines which are located on slotted truncated ground plane with three stubs loaded on both ground plane sides. The antenna design covers the frequently used frequencies for electronic device communication, such as GSM 1800, UMTS 2100, WLAN 2450 and LTE 2600 With the numerically computed gain values of 3.89dBi at 1.8GHz, 4.51dBi at 2.1GHz, 5.02dBi at 2.45GHz, and 5.03dBi at 2.6GHz, respectively. The proposed antenna design has permissible gain values to be used for RF energy harvesting applications.
