Hello. Would a pair of rabbit ear antennas attached to a breadboard leading to a full wave bridge rectifier leading to cApsitor then a led make a working antenna. What frequicy or frequicies would it pick up and how would I determine what measurement cApsitor to use. Could someone also tell me anything else I'd need for a simple rectenna to power a led. Thanks.

 

Hello,

The signal from an antenna will never be enough to light a led.
The expected signal will be in the microVolts range.
