description Radiofrequency energy harvesting (RF-EH) solutions have evolved significantly in recent years due to the ubiquity of electromagnetic waves in any environment. This review presents a comprehensive report on autonomous wireless sensor (WS) design considerations based on RF-EH. The obtainability of RF-EH-WS is driven by development efforts in the areas of RF-EH circuit design, known as rectifying antenna (Rectenna), the minimization of the energy budget of WS (MEB-WS), and finally, power management modules (PMM). The PMM aims to optimize the energy efficiency of the WS. In addition to these three factors, examining the RF power levels harvested related to the rectenna feeding technique (RFT) is essential. Since we did not find any review presenting a holistic view of these design considerations, we strived to provide a detailed picture of recent advances and new enhancements in this review. To address this issue, this review gives an overview of the seminal and contemporary studies in the RF-EH-WS field. The IoT issues are also discussed in terms of their basic requirement to support reduced size or miniaturized smart objects, which are common matters in current applications of WS nodes. Potential open issues that might be considered for future research are also discussed in this article. For a more detailed description of all presented concepts, many significant references are provided for the readers.
