Design of compact and conformal rectennas

A rectenna (rectifying antenna) is a special type of receiving antenna that is used to convert electromagnetic energy into direct current (DC) electricity. Rectennas are widely used in many internet of things (IoT) devices for sensing and communication purposes. The objective of this project is to d...
