Abstract:
This article presents a fully integrated tri-band RF energy harvesting system (RFEH) in 65-nm CMOS technology. The system is designed to harvest ambient RF energies at 900 MHz, 1.9 GHz, and 2.4 GHz through a tri-band impedance matching network (IMN), cross-coupled differential-drive (CCDD) rectifier, and an output voltage monitoring circuit to limit the rectified output voltage to 3.3 V. The system achieves a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of over 30 % across all three frequency bands with a peak of 42.8 %. Furthermore, the system exhibits a peak sensitivity of -20 dBm at an output DC voltage of 1 V output.
