摘要
In this work, a novel quad-band rectifier circuit is introduced for RF energy harvesting and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The proposed rectifier operates in the Wi-Fi frequency band and can supply low-power sensors and systems used in IoT services. The circuit operates at 2.4, 3.5, 5, and 5.8 GHz. The proposed RF-to-DC rectifier is designed based on Delon theory and Greinacher topology on an RT/Duroid 5880 substrate. The results show that our proposed circuit can harvest RF energy from the environment, providing maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) greater than 81% when the output load is 0.511 k Omega and the input power is 12 dBm. In this work, we provide a comprehensive design framework for an affordable RF-to-DC rectifier. Our circuit performs better than similar designs in the literature. This rectifier could be integrated into an IoT node to harvest RF energy, thereby proving a green energy source. The IoT node can operate at various frequencies.
