Abstract
This paper presents the design of a Dickson charge pump circuit paired with a compact, multi-resonant loop antenna for RF energy harvesting at 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz. It enables the RF harvester to operate efficiently both indoors and outdoors. A prototype design using surface mount components is simulated using ADS. It achieves a sensitivity of −21.2 dBm and −17.1 dBm at 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz, respectively. The simulated Vout >1 V is achieved in < 60µs. The prototype design, including antenna, requires an area of 55.9×38.1 mm2.
