Abstract

In this article, we present an overview of the 5G rectifying antenna and its primary elements for applications in millimeter-wave (mm-wave) energy harvesting (EH) and wireless power transmission (WPT). The wide spectrum available for 5G communication bands have attracted significant attention for extensive applications. The power received by the harvesting antenna relies on the size of the antenna. Hence, the realization of antenna and rectenna systems with good efficiency at 5G mm-wave is a challenge. This review article highlights the recent advances in 5G rectenna systems for different applications at the component and structure levels. The primary objectives of the article are 1) to explore the potential advances of mm-wave rectenna systems and the feasibility of their designs to attain desired characteristics and 2) to present a comparative assessment of performance parameters of existing rectenna systems.
