A 2.4 GHz Coplanar Solar Cell Patch Antenna with a Semi-Analytical Evaluation of Temperature Effects

Abstract Solar cells integrated with antennas have aroused scientific interest as an attractive energy source alternative in low power devices for IoT and Wireless Sensor Network applications. Since the space for all components in the systems is scarce, different integration ideas have been proposed in this field. However, further analysis of the performance of photovoltaic modules used as structural components of antennas is still lacking. In this context, this work experimentally extracts the necessary parameters to create an equivalent circuit model of a modified solar cell used as a radiat...
