“…In [10] a dual-band rectifier is proposed, but the simulated efficiency is 60% at 0 dBm. In [11,12,13] a dual-band rectifier is designed with a lower dialectic constant substrate material to achieve more efficiency, and the input power for maximum efficiency is greater. In [19,20] a multiband rectifier is proposed but efficiency is reduced.…”

“…However, in this design a half-wave voltage doubler circuit, which is a special case of voltage multipliers, is used for the rectification to get high voltage with conservation of the design simplicity. The rectifier design as well as the matching network is depicted in Figure 21 [52]. The voltage doubler circuit comprises two Avago HSMS2850 Schottky diodes and two SMD capacitors (C s =C p = 100 pF).…”

With the rapid development of the wireless systems and demands of low-power integrated electronic circuits, various research trends have tended to study the feasibility of powering these circuits by harvesting free energy from ambient electromagnetic space or by using dedicated RF source. Wireless power transmission (WPT) technology was first pursued by Tesla over a century ago. However, it faced several challenges for deployment in real applications. Recently, energy harvesting and WPT technologies have received much attention as a clean and renewable power source. Rectenna (rectifying antenna) system can be used for remotely charging batteries in several sensor networks at internet of things (IoT) applications as commonly used in smart buildings, implanted medical devices and automotive applications. Rectenna, which is used to convert from RF energy to usable DC electrical energy, is mainly a combination between a receiving antenna and a rectifier circuit. This chapter will present several designs for single and multiband rectennas with different characteristics for energy harvesting applications. Single and multiband antennas as well as rectifier circuits with matching networks are introduced for complete successful rectenna circuit models. At the end of the chapter, a dual-band rectenna example is introduced with a detailed description for each section of the rectenna.

“…The efficiency obtained was greater than 30% at 942 MHz and greater than 20% at 1805 MHz for an input power greater than −10 dBm and an output load equal to 15 kOhm. In 2018 [11], a voltage-doubler circuit as a rectifier was introduced, which consisted of two Avago HSMS2850 Schottky diodes and two capacitors. The results demonstrated that the RF-to-DC maximum efficiency was 63% at 1.95 GHz and 69% at 2.50 GHz, for an input power of 7.0 dBm and 3.5 dBm, respectively, and a resistive load of 1.0 kOhm.…”

Radio Frequency (RF) energy harvesting has been emerged as a potentially reliable method to replace the costly and difficult to maintain source of low-power wireless sensor networks. A plethora of dual-band rectifier designs has been proposed in the literature operating in various frequency bands. In this paper, a triple-band RF-to-DC rectifier that operates in the frequency bands of LoRaWAN, GSM-900, and WiFi 2.4 GHz is presented. The system is composed of an impedance-matching circuit, an RF-to-DC rectifier, that converts the ambient RF energy into DC voltage able to feed low-power devices, and an output load. The proposed system resonates at three different frequencies of 866 MHz, 948 MHz and 2423 MHz, which fall within the aforementioned frequency bands of interest. The feasible solution of the proposed system was based on a dual-band rectifier operating in the frequency bands of LoRaWAN and GSM-900. A series of shunt stubs was utilized in the initial design to form the feasible solution of the proposed system. The proposed triple-band rectifier was optimized using a powerful optimization algorithm, i.e., the genetic algorithm. The overall system exhibited improved characteristics compared to the initial design in terms of its resonance. Numerical results demonstrated that the overall system exhibited an efficiency of 81% with 3.23 V of the output voltage, for an input power of 0 dBm and a load of 13 kOhm.
