In this thesis, dual-band circularly polarized rectennas for the applications of wireless power transmission have been studied. The proposed design of dual-band circularly polarized antenna operating at 2.45/5.8 GHz can interception and receive the RF energy of random polarization in free space. Low-pass filter and dual-band matching network are designed for impedance matching between the receiver antenna and voltage-doubler rectifier as well as to suppress the higher order harmonics efficiently. The circularly polarized antenna and matching network for voltage-doubler rectifier, measured output voltage with conversion efficiency are also studied in the thesis. The designed dual-band circularly polarized antenna and matching network voltage-doubler rectifier circuit exhibit bandwidth and axial ratio bandwidth meet that can the specification of IEEE 802.11b (2.4~2.485 GHz) and IEEE 802.11a (5.725~ 5.825 GHz). The result of the antenna gain is about 3.5~6 dBi. With the present design, a maximum voltage of 5.4 V with a conversion efficiency up to 55% is attainable.
