A multiband, polarization-controlled energy harvesting metasurface is presented in this article for harvesting electromagnetic energy in the Wi-Fi bands. Inspired by the split-ring resonator (SRR), a metasurface of SRRs is designed by nesting multiple SRRs together. The novelty of the design lies in...
