Abstract
RF energy is a collective term for electromagnetic energy emitted by all sorts of waves on the electromagnetic spectrum, which mainly include Radio waves and Microwaves. In this paper, we will discuss different methods of harvesting Radio Frequency energy. Also, in the next section we will see the advantages of Radio Frequency energy over other energy harvesting methods. We will be discussing some disadvantages of it too. In this particular review, we have come across some methods to increase the efficiency of Radio Frequency energy that is being harvested. This study will help further researchers to garner knowledge about RF energy harvesting in a brevity manner.
