Energy scavenging is a promising technique for micro-devices such as wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Radio frequency (RF) is considered a sustainable source that can be utilized and harvested due to its important features. The essential goal of this study was designing and investigating a wide input power range through a theoretical and simulation work for the 900 MHz frequency band with acceptable efficiency. In this work, we investigated both the low input power and the high input power range circuits; the two circuits were combined to achieve the goal of the wide input power range. L impedance matching elements were used to perform the desired matching between the power source and the circuit to reduce the reflected power resulted in enhanced RF-DC conversion efficiency. 60 % was the peak efficiency for the proposed design at 0 dBm with the output voltage of 16.56 V, and a generated current of 1.39 mA for the load of 12K Omega. |
