Abstract
As described in chapter 2, the use of low threshold voltage and low reverse current diodes and capacitors makes it possible to obtain a relatively high output voltage (1–2 V) given a sinusoidal input signal of about 200 mV. These values depend on the received power, the DC output current delivered to the load, and the impedance matching quality between the antenna and the rectifier’s input. It is the purpose of this chapter to discuss all these issues in order to predict the performance of a modified-Greinacher full-wave rectifier in a given process technology [4].
