Abstract

This paper presents a design of a 5.8 GHz RF-DC converter for energy harvesting applications to harvest the RF energy from the environment. To improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE), the proposed architecture compensates for the threshold voltage of the rectifying devices. The proposed architecture is designed and simulated in 130 nm Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) technology with an active area of $12\ \mu m\times 16\ \mu m$. The simulated results show the PCE of more the 20% with input power from -22 dBm to -6 dBm. The maximum PCE achieved is 53 % at -10 dBm input power and produces an output voltage of 1.8 V with $100\ K\Omega$ load resistance. Similarly, 42 % and 32.5 % PCE are achieved with $200\ K\Omega$ and $500\ K\Omega$ load resistance respectively to produce a voltage of 2.45 V and 1.8 V.
