The purpose of this work is to propose an efficient microstrip rectenna operating on ISM band with high harmonic rejection. The receiving antenna with proximity coupled feeding line implemented in a multilayer substrate. The rectenna with integrated circular sector antenna can eliminate the need for an low pass filter (LPF) placed between the antenna and the diode as well as produce higher output power, with maximum conversion efficiency of 74 % using a 1300 Ω load resistor at a power density of 0.3 mW/cm.
