Abstract

In this paper, a triple-band ultra-wideband UWB eight elements monopole antenna array is proposed. This antenna array is designed with the minimum printed area and is prepared for wireless local area network (WLANs) power harvesting applications. It covers the bands of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, which makes it suitable for Wi-Fi frequencies to harvest their power. The eight-element antenna array dimensions are 28.5 cm by 15 cm. These dimensions are chosen for the mini-solar cell integration process. Low-cost FR4 material is used as a substrate. The proposed antenna’s measured reflection coefficient is compared with its simulated counterpart and is founded in good harmony.
