| Abstract | This Project was aimed in capturing free flowing energy being generated from TV signals, Wireless Radio Networks and Cell phones for converting them into usable DC Voltage to power up low power devices. RF Energy available in ambient environment in many forms such as 850 MHz (by 3G), 900 MHz (by GSM), 1800 MHz (by 3G) and 2100 MHz (by GSM) are used for harvesting to power up low DC devices. A circuit consists of four (04) primary sub systems was built to capture RF energy in these frequency bands for obtaining the desired DC output voltage. The parameters of an Advanced Design System Simulator (ADS) were very useful in designing these sub systems accurately. At the end of this Project, it is mentioned with great satisfaction that the desired voltage output of 5 volts was achieved successfully |
