Abstract
In this letter, a novel impedance matcher (IM) is designed based on Zeta converter to overcome the shortcomings of other impedance matching methods and improve the load range in low resistances. System-level verification demonstrates that the novel IM has a potential application value for microwave wireless power transmission (MWPT) system. Measurement results show the maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the novel rectifier with IM can reach 73% when the input power is 32 dBm. In addition, the proposed rectifier circuit with IM can operate with above 60% overall efficiency when the load varies from 0.01 to 10 $\text{k}\Omega $ (1:1000) as input power of 32 dBm. Compared with that without IM, the application of IM can increase the load range by at least 1100% when the rectifier efficiency is >50.7%. The measurement results demonstrate that the rectifier circuit has a better performance when connected to the novel IM.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters (MWCL) publishes four-page papers (3 pages of text + up to 1 page of references) that focus on microwave theory, techniques and applications as they relate to components, devices, circuits, biological effects, and systems involving the generation, modulation, demodulation, control, transmission, and detection of microwave signals. This includes scientific, technical, medical and industrial activities. Microwave theory and techniques relates to electromagnetic waves in the frequency range of a few MHz and a THz; other spectral regions and wave types are included within the scope of the MWCL whenever basic microwave theory and techniques can yield useful results. Generally, this occurs in the theory of wave propagation in structures with dimensions comparable to a wavelength, and in the related techniques for analysis and design.
