Abstract: This article mainly focuses on study of RF energy Sensor circuit. We are surrounded with enormous Radio frequency signals, mostly varying in the range of 1 GHz to 3.5 GHz. An RF energy sensing Circuit has been designed, In Advanced Digital Simulation software, to detect the level of signal at a particular frequency and converting RF energy into voltage levels. In order to restrict our circuit to a particular frequency, we have designed a Helical Antenna as a receiver which can send RF power to designed circuit. This antenna is designed with particular dimensions such that it has minimum reflection coefficient at desired frequency, allowing only a particular frequency to reach RF sensing circuit.
