Abstract
This paper presents the design of a high gain quasi-Yagi antenna and array for rectenna. First, for the quasi-Yagi antenna, the improvement of bowtie driven element with round corner is proposed to reduce the antenna's size, to decrease the reflection coefficient as well as to achieve the high gain of 8dBi. Moreover, 1×4 quasi-Yagi antenna array is designed which is fed by a 4-way equal Wilkinson power divider and the array can finally reach a high gain of 12dBi. This antenna and array are appropriate for being the receiving antenna of a rectenna to transmit energy or harvest surrounding power.
