Abstract

Rectifier design is one of the challenging issues in passive radio-frequency identification (RFID) systems. Differential structures are good candidates as rectifiers to their high conversion efficiencies. In this paper, a novel structure is proposed to produce symmetrical power-supply utilizing differential circuit configuration simulated in 130nm CMOS technology. The proposed rectifier can provide 1.34 V DC power with 382% voltage conversion efficiency, thus demonstrated its higher performance over existing designs.
