Radio waves energy harvesting is interesting research in recent times. Development of antenna as the instrument to catching radio waves is fascinating research in energy harvesting system. The paper presents the design of corner reflector for radio wave energy harvesting with GPS L1 working frequency with gain 9.69, return loss -11.19 dB, beamwidth 47.3 degrees that can accommodate north-south solar movement in a year around and bandwidth 52.512 Mhz.
