A triple-band bow-tie rectenna for RF energy harvesting without matching network

This work presents a high-efficiency rectenna design for low power ambient electromagnetic energy harvesting for three communication bands in Europe, 915 MHz (GSM), 1.8 GHz (UMTS) and 2.45 GHz (WiFi and IMS). Source pull has been applied to remove the matching network and avoid its losses.
