... The Dickson rectifier in Figure 1 was demonstrated in the '70s by John F. Dickson [10]. In recent times, due to the practicality and simplicity of the Dickson rectifier, it has commonly been found and implemented in various charge pump and voltage doubler circuitry [11]- [16]. The coupling capacitor C1 charges during VRF < -VDIODE through D1 and functions as a doubler during VRF > VDIODE through D2 to transfer the charges to CL to generate VOUT = 2(|VRF| -VDIODE). ...

This review explores the various strategies used to widen the input power (PIN) dynamic range of an RF-DC rectifier and analyzes the recent developments reported in the literature. This development is insightful as the PIN dynamic range is crucial for systems adopting wireless power transfer (WPT) or wireless energy harvesting (EH) for both near- and far-field applications to mitigate the reliance on the battery as its primary power source. However, the RF-DC rectifier exhibits non-linear characteristics, resulting in a narrow P IN band for reasonable power conversion efficiency (PCE). The different strategies reported in the literature are discussed and classified into three main concepts: reconfigurable, multi-path, and self-biased rectifiers. Despite having different design constraints and considerations during the inception of the reported work in the literature, this article analyzes and provides the general development trend, merits, and demerits.

Continuous advances in ultralow-power electronics are a fundamental driving force of developing far-field wireless power harvesting techniques, which generally harnesses low/ambient energy in free space or dedicated wireless power from a power base station. This article reviews recent developments and technology trends in far-field (radiative) wireless power harvesting, including modeling of rectification process inside nonlinear devices, insights into rectenna system design, and demonstrations of emerging applications. The rectification process inside nonlinear devices will be explored, upon which a device selection guideline is provided to help quickly identify suitable devices. Then, the optimization of rectenna design is discussed to realize efficiency enhancement at a limited input power level. Since far-field wireless power harvesting has become a critical enabling technology for battery-free Internet of Things, a series of promising applications is demonstrated in this article to highlight the challenges and opportunities in the field.

This work proposes to enlarge the maximum readout distance of battery-free harmonic transponders through a careful Schottky diode selection and a consideration of low-temperature operations. Diode SMS7621 is identified to deliver lower conversion loss (CL) of harmonic transponders based on a diode selection guide. Moreover, an analytical method for studying temperature effects on the transponder CL performance is introduced and derived with satisfactory accuracy. A diplexer inserted in the harmonic transponder design can help reduce the antenna number. To mitigate matching difficulties at both fundamental and second-harmonic frequencies, a third-order diplexer is developed to enhance its bandwidth performance. Experimental verification has shown that low-temperature operations can effectively reduce the CL of the SMS7630-based harmonic transponder, thus increasing its readout distance. Specifically, its maximum readout distance at -40 °C has increased by more than 10%, from 6.4 to 7.1 m, compared with that at +40 °C. A complete harmonic transponder based on SMS7621, with dimensions of 85 mm x 45 mm has reached a maximum readout distance of 8 m when the fundamental frequency is 3.5 GHz.

This work summarizes an outdoor dynamic measurement of ambient radiofrequency (RF) power density in the core areas of Montreal city, which can eventually be exploited for possible battery-free Internet of Things (IoT) sensor network planning. The measurement covers a frequency range of 400 MHz to 2700 MHz. The power density along major streets, roads, and highways is captured and analyzed, which differs from previous stationary measurements. Results indicate that cellular communication bands (GSM/LTE850 and LTE700) are the best choice for RF energy recycling in downtown (populated) areas. The largest average power levels of GSM/LTE850 and LTE700 bands are -35.50 dBm and -36.95 dBm, respectively. In contrast, in suburban areas where cellular communication signals are generally weak, the digital television band with a peak level of -47.68 dBm presents the largest among all frequency bands. Moreover, one separate measurement at a fixed location is conducted on a typical workday to study the effects of foot traffic on ambient RF power density. Results illustrate that no obvious fluctuations are detected during this daytime measurement. For example, both average power levels of GSM/LTE850 and LTE700 remain at a relatively stable level of -25 dBm throughout the measurement. With the advance of far-field wireless power transfer and backscattering techniques, ambient RF powerenabled battery-free IoT sensors are feasible and will contribute to the planning and implementation of a smarter, greener city.

High-temperature operation of semiconductor devices is widely demanded for switching/sensing purposes in automobiles, plants, and aerospace applications. As alternatives to conventional Si-based Schottky diodes usable only at 200°C or less, Schottky interfaces based on wide-bandgap semiconductors have been extensively studied to realize a large Schottky barrier height that makes high-temperature operation possible. Here, we report a unique crystalline Schottky interface composed of a wide-gap semiconductor β-Ga 2 O 3 and a layered metal PdCoO 2 . At the thermally stable all-oxide interface, the polar layered structure of PdCoO 2 generates electric dipoles, realizing a large Schottky barrier height of ~1.8 eV, well beyond the 0.7 eV expected from the basal Schottky-Mott relation. Because of the naturally formed homogeneous electric dipoles, this junction achieved current rectification with a large on/off ratio approaching 10 ⁸ even at a high temperature of 350°C. The exceptional performance of the PdCoO 2 /β-Ga 2 O 3 Schottky diodes makes power/sensing devices possible for extreme environments.

An experimental study is carried out to assess the effect of temperature on the conversion efficiency of Ultra High Frequency energy harvesters based on diode-capacitor Dickson charge pumps, frequently used in self-energizing circuits, such as in radio frequency identification (RF-ID) tags or in wireless sensor nodes. Using off-the-shelf Schottky diodes often adopted for this application, it is shown that the harvester conversion efficiency at 868 MHz is temperature dependent due to the changing rectification ratio, namely the ratio between the forward and the reverse current flowing through the low barrier height Schottky diodes, which both show a positive derivative with T. The experimental study, supported by SPICE simulations, has shown that a temperature variation might be particularly harmful at the lowest incident power regimes, when even a minimal drop in the conversion efficiency might determine the out-of-servicing of a wirelessly energized circuit.

In this article, we investigate Schottky diodes with pure W and W-C alloy metal electrodes. The electrical characteristics of samples were analyzed by comparing the current density–voltage ( J\textit{J}V\textit{V} ) and capacitance–voltage ( C\textit{C}V\textit{V} ) curves at different annealing temperatures from 400 ^{\circ} C to 900 ^{\circ} C. The ideality factor of W-C alloy diodes annealed at 400 ^{\circ} C was 1.162. When W-C alloy diodes were annealed at 500 ^{\circ} C–900 ^{\circ} C, the range of BIV\emptyset_{\textit{B}}^{\textit{I}-\textit{V}} was merely 0.08 eV, the ideality factors were below 1.15, and the difference between BIV\emptyset_{\textit{B}}^{\textit{I}-\textit{V}} and BCV\emptyset_{\textit{B}}^{\textit{C}-\textit{V}} was smaller compared to the pure W diodes. For W-C alloy diodes annealed at 500 ^{\circ} C, the barrier height fluctuated only slightly, and the leakage current was suppressed effectively as the operating temperature increased. These results show that the new structure has better electrical characteristics and thermal stability. Meanwhile, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) images also verify that W-C alloy diodes reduce the interface reaction between the metal and silicon carbide (SiC), which improves the barrier inhomogeneity of W-based Schottky diodes effectively.

A wearable radio-frequency (RF) energy-localized harvester with multiple antennas and spoof surface plasmon (SSP) structure for multibeam radiation is presented to power the Bluetooth sensor module. The harvester contains four separate antennas connected by SSP waveguides, while the loop is applied to excite the structure to generate multibeam radiation and improve energy harvesting. The radiative waves will be harvested and converted into surface waves on the SSP waveguides, then, confined in a localized area of the structure through the evanescent field interactions between the current of SSP and the loop in a contactless way. More importantly, it is free of RF connectors and soldering works on the interface between the energy harvester and clothing. In addition, the wearable energy harvester is entirely made of flexible materials, such as conductive fabrics, polyimide, and nylon fabrics in a compact and low-profile structure. The loop can easily be integrated with the rectify circuit and power management unit (PMU) to provide direct-current (dc) power for different kinds of wireless sensor modules. In this design, the harvested power can support a battery-free Bluetooth temperature and humidity sensor with a power density of 2.75 μW\mu \text{W} /cm 2 . The complete system-level demonstration of RF energy harvesting shows the potential to power small electronic devices for wearable applications.

With an advance of semiconductor technology, RF energy harvested from ambient becomes more and more promise to facilitate low-power electronics. However, such energy is too low to activate a high-power module, constraining its widespread in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). To embed an ambient energy harvesting into WSNs, its cooperative integration with a dedicated wireless power transfer (WPT) is proposed. Therefore, low-power electronics can be sustained by ambient energy, while high-power modules can be activated by the dedicated WPT. A low-threshold rectifier is exploited to capture and rectify all matched ambient energy, while reflecting almost unmatched dedicated incidence. A low-loss and small-size circulator is employed to channel the two various energy flows, enabling a compact rectenna. The proposed integration is theoretically analyzed and experimentally validated, which is suitable for WSNs applications.

A novel diplexer-based fully passive transponder is presented in this paper, which targets sub-6-GHz 5G-compatible internet-of-things applications. To alleviate the antenna design restrictions of traditional transponder with two separate antennas, a new architecture has been proposed with the introduction of a diplexer, which allows transponder to simply employ a dual-band antenna. In this paper, a dual-band circularly polarized omnidirectional spiral slot antenna, with enhanced bandwidth and gain performance, is designed as the transponder Tx/Rx antenna. Besides the new architecture, a diode selection criterion is proposed as well. Analytical models are derived, showing relationships between the diode's SPICE parameters and the conversion efficiency or conversion loss (CL) of such diode-based transponders. With help of the analysis, transponder designers can easily identify diodes to implement transponders with better performance. Under the guidance of the criterion, low-barrier diode SMS7630 is chosen for verification. Measured CL results of the transponder circuitry part show a noticeable improvement over the state-of-the-art works. The complete prototype was tested with radar's transmitting power of 25 dBm, and it presents a maximum read-out distance up to 7 m when the operating fundamental frequency is 3.5 GHz.

In order to collect information more efficiently, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are partitioned into clusters. Clustering provides an effective way to prolong the lifetime of WSNs. Current clustering approaches often use two methods: selecting cluster heads with more residual energy, and rotating cluster heads periodically, to distribute the energy consumption among nodes in each cluster and extend the network lifetime. However, most of the previous algorithms have not considered the expected residual energy, which is the predicated remaining energy for being selected as a cluster head and running a round. In this paper, a fuzzy-logic-based clustering approach with an extension to the energy predication has been proposed to prolong the lifetime of WSNs by evenly distributing the workload. The simulation results show that the proposed approach is more efficient than other distributed algorithms. It is believed that the technique presented in this paper could be further applied to large-scale wireless sensor networks.

This paper presents a RF to DC conversion model for multi-stage rectifiers in UHF RFID transponders. An equation relating the RF power available from the antenna to the DC output voltage produced by a multi-stage rectifier is presented. The proposed model includes effects of the nonlinear forward voltage drop in diodes and impedance matching conditions of the antenna to rectifier interface. Fundamental frequency impedance approximation is used to analyze the resistance of rectifying diodes; parasitic resistive loss components are also included in the analysis of rectifier input resistance. The closed form equation shows insights into design parameter tradeoffs, such as power available from the antenna, antenna radiation resistance, the number of diodes, DC load current, parasitic resistive loss components, diode and capacitor sizes, and frequency of operation. Therefore, it enables the optimization of rectifier parameters for impedance matching with a low-cost printed antenna and shunt tuning inductor, in order to improve the RF to DC conversion efficiency and the operational distance of UHF RFID transponders. Three diode doublers and three multistage rectifiers were fabricated in a 130 nm CMOS process with custom no-mask added Schottky diodes. Measurements of the test IC are in good agreement with the proposed model.
