Development of Voltage Multiplier Rectifier for Energy Harvesting Applications

Adil Karimov, Mohammad Hashmi

Abstract

This work describes the implementation of a RF-to-DC rectifier based on the voltage booster topology that operates at a practical 915 MHz frequency. The rectifier design is derived from the Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplier design, which is used for lower frequency ranges, and adapted for higher RF frequencies. The rectifier achieved an efficiency about 50%, starting with a power input of 7.5 dBm and reaching a peak efficiency at 80%, with a power input of 15 dBm.
