Abstract

This article presents a planar monopole antenna on flexible substrate for middle band 5G (3.5 GHz) application in Malaysia. The antenna has been designed and optimized for its gain and efficiency with an improved performance in contrast of flexible substrate-based other antennas. The antenna resonates at 3.53 GHz and it has a -10dB bandwidth of 545 MHz. The bending effects of this antenna on the S-parameter and gain have also been investigated. The antenna is able to suppress all the other frequency bands until 20 GHz. The designed antenna has been utilized with a newly designed rectifier to act as an rectenna at 3.5 GHz for RF energy harvesting applications. A reasonable amount of DC output voltage of 930 mV, and a Power Conversion Efficiency of 43.5% have been obtained while 0 dBm RF input power is delivered to the rectifier input terminal. Apart from the utilization as an energy harvester being connected with the proposed rectifier, the designed antenna on flexible substrate can also be employed to biomedical and sensor applications.
