Abstract
An effective impedance matching technique for rectennas (an antenna coupled with rectifier) operating at specific frequencies is presented. The rectifier consists of a MIM junction with a molecular insulator. The method used two coplanar strip lines emerging from the antenna feed-point, to correct for the reactive component of the antenna impedance on one side, and to connect the rectifier and transform its impedance on the other side. Microwave and mm-wave characterization of the devices showed that the output voltage of the impedance matched rectenna is almost an order of magnitude higher than that of a control device without matching network at 20 GHz.
