Azamat Bakytbekov, A, et al., "Fully printed 3D cube-shaped multiband fractal rectenna for ambient RF energy harvesting". Nano energy, 53, 2018, 587. The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging paradigm that requires billions of wirelessly connected devices in a complex radio-frequency (RF) environment. With such a huge number of devices in this scenario, recharging or replacing batteries becomes impractical. Therefore, powering IoT devices by harvesting energy from ambient sources, such as that available in the RF spectrum, is an attractive solution. The antenna for the RF energy harvester
