Abstract(in English) In this paper, basic characteristics of a wide-angle rectenna employing a microstrip array antenna and Magic-Ts are reported. The Magic-T converts RF waves received by two patch elements to their in-phase and anti-phase components, and each of the components is rectified by a diode. The gain of the array antenna that consists of a pair of patch elements is higher than that of a single patch antenna. Furthermore, the use of both of the in-phase and anti-phase components prevents the gain degradation caused by the phase difference of the two RF waves arrived from an oblique direction. Here, performance of two types of rectennas which have a parallel/series connection of two diodes are experimentally evaluated and compared. Much wider reception angle than those of conventional microstrip rectennas was obtained.
