Abstract

This article proposes a concurrent rectifier for radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting from the popular ambient RF sources wireless fidelity (WiFi) 2.45 and 5.8 GHz bands. A voltage doubler-based converter circuit with the Schottky SMS7630 diode is used, this chosen diode has shown good results for low power levels. To ameliorate the resulting circuit, we used an interdigital capacitor (IDC) instead of a lumped component; and then we added a filter to reject the 3rd harmonics of each operating frequency. A dual-band impedance transformer with a direct current (DC) block function is used and optimized at low input power points for more harvested DC power. The final circuit was, therefore, more efficient and more reliable. The maximum conversion efficiencies obtained from the resulting circuit are about 60.321% for 2.45 GHz and 47.175% for 5.8 GHz at 2 dBm of input power. Compared to other previous rectifiers presented in the literature, our proposed circuit presents high efficiencies at low power levels and at these operating frequencies.

Abstract

This paper presents a new rectifier design for radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting by adopting a particular circuit topology to achieve two objectives at the same time. First, work with modulated input signal sources instead of only continuous waveform (CW) signals. Second, operate with a wide input power range using the Wilkinson power divider (WPD) and two different rectifier diodes (HSMS2852 and SMS7630) instead of using active components. According to the comparison with dual-band rectifiers presented in the literature, the designed rectifier is a high-efficiency rectifier for wide RF power input ranges. A peak of 67.041% and 49.089% was reached for 2.45 and 5.8 GHz, respectively, for CW as the input signal. An efficiency of 72.325% and 45.935% is obtained with a 16 QAM modulated input signal for the operating frequencies, respectively, 69.979% and 54.579% for 8PSK. The results obtained demonstrate that energy recovery systems can use modulated signals. Therefore, the use of a modulated signal over a CW signal may have additional benefits.

Abstract

This paper presents the design of highly efficient rectifiers that can operate at WiFi frequencies (2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz) and match low input power. The designed dual-band rectifiers use multi-stage dickson voltage multipliers (DVM) (from 1 to 6 stages), and the main idea of this paper is to find the number of stages that offers the best performance and that can be used by applications that operate within the same constraints (operating frequencies, input power). The efficiency and the output voltage (Vout) are the parameters studied to analyze the designed rectifiers. The results showed that as the number of DVM stages increased, the efficiency curves for both frequencies shifted to the higher input power range, even when using the same diode (SMS7630) and the same load (5 KΩ). We concluded that the rectifier with 1-stage DVM is the most suitable to be used for low input power at the selected frequencies since it provides an efficiency of 57.734% at 0 dBm for 2.45 GHz and 36.225% at 1 dBm of input power for 5.8 GHz.
