Abstract
This paper presents an RF-to-DC energy harvester in the Wi-Fi band. The energy harvester is meant to charge the 1.2V battery of the wireless sensor node device. The system design consists of three main circuit blocks: A low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator, a charge control circuit and multistage differential-drive rectifier. The maximum PCE attained by the rectifier alone is 31.43%. The charge control circuit maintains the voltage within 1.3V-l.4V, while the LDO provides a stable and regulated output of 1.2V. The designed energy harvester has a minimum RF input power of −2.04 dBm. The chip layout of the overall design has a dimension of 1.2mm × 1.1mm.
