In this work, a simple and inexpensive microstrip rectenna is designed and tested. The rectenna circuit consists of microstrip patch antenna array resonate at 5.8 GHz and Rectifier Schottky diodes. An HSMS-8202 diode has been investigated for the antenna and rectifier circuit impedance matching and rectification efficiency. Further Dickson charge pump voltage multiplier has employed in the rectifier circuit to increase output voltage for small microwave input power condition. The charge pump methodology with different stages is tested and analyzed performance wise.
