Project summary

This project will focus on the development of energy efficient, reliable and compact microwave rectennas and electromagnetic field sensors that will be used for energy harvesting of IoT devices, sensors, RFID systems etc. The proposed rectennas based on a metamaterial cell formed by a combination of dielectric (DR) and microstrip (MSR) resonators (DR&MSR). The proposed project corresponds to the NATO SPS key priority "1. Facilitate mutually beneficial cooperation on issues of common interest, including international efforts to meet emerging security challenges” and in the framework of this area covers current issues of “Energy Security”.

The project started: 2023.06.15.

Duration of the project 3 years, granted budget 350,000 €.
