Tesis ini adalah untuk mereka bentuk struktur antena alternatif yang boleh meningkatkan gandaan antena, jumlah tenaga penuai dan membekal kuasa tinggi semasa penerusan. Kajian ini menghasilkan voltan mantap pada frekuensi 956 MHz untuk sistem penuai tenaga RF. Reka bentuk tentang antena lingkaran bulat dilakukan dengan menggunakan perisian Computer Simulation Technology (CST) dan perisian Advanced Designed System (ADS). Antena lingkaran bulat disambungkan dengan litar penerus untuk menukarkan isyarat masukan tenaga RF yang diterima daripada bentuk arus ulang-alik (AC) kepada bentuk arus terus (DC) . Tiga konfigurasi reka bentuk telah dicadangkan iaitu antena lingkaran bulat tunggal 1x2 susunan antena dan 2x4 susunan antena. Antena yang dicadangkan tersebut telah dibangunkan adalah berdasarkan kepada asas ciri-ciri antena seperti corak sinaran, kehilangan pulangan dan gandaan. 1x2 susunan antena dan 2x4 susunan antena telah direka bentuk dengan menggunakan kaedah penyuapan korporat yang dapat meningkatkan gandaan dan voltan keluaran penuai RF. Litar penerus daripada RF kepada arus terus (DC) adalah menggunakan diode schottky tanpa bias menukarkan tenaga penuaian yang diterima. Keputusan tersebut menunjukkan semua tiga jenis reka bentuk mempunyai gandaan pada 2.3 dBi, 3.2 dBi and 5 dBi manakala voltan keluaran yang dihasilkan adalah 17 mV, 59.4 mV dan 79 mV masing-masing. Ia didapati juga bahawa antena lingkaran bulat dapat membekalkan keluaran voltan DC tetap yang bermanfaat untuk aplikasi Ultra Frekuensi Tinggi. _______________________________________________________________________ This thesis is to design an alternative antenna structure that will increase gain of the antenna, the amount of harvested energy and provide high power during rectification. The research works generate a steady output at a frequency of 956 MHz for RF energy harvesting system. The design of the circular spiral antenna is performed using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) and Advanced Designed System (ADS). The circular spiral antenna is integrated with the rectifying circuit to efficiently convert the input RF signal from alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). Three configurations of the antenna designs were proposed namely single circular spiral antenna, 1x2 circular spiral antenna and 2x4 circular spiral antenna. The proposed antenna that had been developed is based on the basic antenna characteristic such as return loss, radiation pattern and gain. The 1x2 array antennas and 2x4 array antenna were designed using the corporate feed method that will increase the gain and enhanced the RF harvesting output voltage. The rectification of RF to DC energy used zero bias schottky diode that convert the incoming harvested energy. The results show that all the three design posses gain of 2.3 dBi, 3.2 dBi and 5 dBi, while the output voltage generated were 17 mV, 59.4 mV and 79 mV respectively. It is found also that the circular spiral antenna can provide a constant output DC voltage which is useful for UHF application.
