Evaluating the performance of single-element versus array type wireless power harvesters

Electromagnetic energy is all around us, particularly in urban environments. This energy can be harvested and used. Harvesting this power and converting it to DC power would be beneficial, as it can be used in various different applications, such as charging biomedical devices li8ke cochlear implants or providing a charge to more common items such as mobile phones. During this thesis CST will be used to work towards finding a design, whether it is single-element or an arry-type antenna, to effectively harvest power wirelessly.This design will then be tested in real life.
