In this paper, a novel design of small low power rectenna operating on WLAN band with high harmonic rejection is presented. By using rotated E-shaped strip in the radiating patch, a new resonance at lower frequency (2.4 GHz) can be achieved. Also, by cutting a rectangular slot with protruded interdigital strip inside the slot in the feed line, a frequency band-stop performance can be achieved. The proposed structure has a major advantage in high harmonic rejection. The rectenna with integrated monopole antenna can eliminate the need for a Low Pass Filter (LPF) placed between the antenna and the diode as well as produce higher output power, with maximum conversion efficiency of 74% using a 1 K resistor at a power density of 0.3 mW/cm².
