Abstract

The conversion of freely available energy to electrical energy is termed as energy harvesting. The sources of energy can be solar, light, vibration, thermal, and electromagnetic signals. Scavenging energy from these sources will reduce the use of batteries which need to be replaced regularly. RF energy is opted in this work due its high energy density and reliability. This paper presents an 8-stage RF-to-DC converter to convert 1800 MHz input radio frequency signal to a constant output voltage of 3.5 V for a load of 5 MΩ.
