A 2.45-GHz rectifying antenna (rectenna) using a compact dual circularly polarized (DCP) patch antenna with an RF-dc power conversion part is presented. The DCP antenna is coupled to a microstrip line by an aperture in the ground plane and includes a bandpass filter for harmonic rejections. It exhibits a measured bandwidth of 2100 MHz (10 dB return loss) and a 705-MHz CP bandwidth (3 dB axial ratio). The maximum efficiency and dc voltage are respectively equal to 63% and 2.82 V over a resistive load of 1600 Ω for a power density of 0.525 mW/cm 2 .
