Some systems like RF energy harvesters have power transfer efficiency as one of the most important specifications. Therefore, the efficiency of the matching network, which affects the entire system’s efficiency, plays an important role. When the impedance transformation factor be ...
In this paper we present the design and simulation results of an RF energy harvesting circuit that operates across a wide range of available input power, from -27 dBm to 6 dBm. The system comprises an adaptive impedance matching network, a single-stage cross-connected differentia ...
The continuous improvement in reducing the power consumption of electronic devices, including biomedical ones, makes the use of energy harvesting systems instead of batteries attractive. Conventionally, energy harvesting systems are optimized to operate in a single worst-case sce ...
This paper presents the design and measurement of an RF energy harvesting and power management unit that operates across a wide range of available input power, from-24 to +15dBm. The system comprises an adaptive impedance matching network, a single-stage cross-coupled differentia ...

This work proposes an energy harvesting platform that is able to convert power from both DC sources (photo-voltaic cells and TEGs) as well as piezo element sources. It does so only using a single input channel to which a single harvester can be connected. The proposed system is a ...
