A tapered-slit-patch antenna with wide-angle circularly polarized (CP) radiation and a compact rectifier was investigated for energy-harvesting systems. A tapered-slit octagonal-shaped patch radiator was implemented to realize the CP microstrip antenna with wide-angle radiation using a proximity-cou...
