I am working on a design/research project at school, on idea being tossed around is two take two input antennas and put them in series with each other to have a higher input voltage. The conceptual plan right now is using two or four patch antennas in-conjunction with each other. I was wondering if we would need an antenna splitter or if we could just put there feeds in series with each other? The purpose of this is in extremely low power RF energy harvesting, and using multiple smaller antennas to increase rectifier efficiency is one of the ideas we are pursuing. I was hoping that it would be possible to use a commerical antenna splitter for this purpose but most of these are matched to 50 or 75 ohms and we will not be using a 50 or 75 ohm antenna or system.
