Abstract

An ultrawideband solar Vivaldi antenna is proposed. Cut from amorphous silicon cells, it maintains a peak power at 4.25 V, which overcomes a need for lossy power management components. The wireless communications device can yield solar energy or function as a rectenna for dual-source energy harvesting. The solar Vivaldi performs with 0.5-2.8 dBi gain from 0.95-2.45 GHz , and in rectenna mode, it covers three bands for wireless energy scavenging.
