Title
A 90-nm CMOS Threshold-Compensated RF Energy Harvester.
Abstract
This paper presents an efficient energy harvester for RF-powered sensor networks. The circuit is based on an improved multi-stage rectifier, which exploits a fully passive threshold self-compensation scheme to overcome the limitation due to the input dead zone. A CAD-oriented design methodology is also proposed, which is aimed at maximizing the overall power conversion efficiency of the harvester ...
