Summary :

In this paper, a high-efficiency high-power rectenna with a bridge diode and the diode on antenna (DoA) topology is discussed. First, the topologies of rectifiers and rectennas are discussed to indicate the direction for obtaining highly efficient rectification. Rectifiers with well-matched diode pairs, as double voltage and bridge rectifiers, can reactively terminate even order harmonics, and is suitable for highly efficient operation. A rectenna with the DoA topology is suitable for a direct connection between the highly functional antenna and the rectifier diodes to remove lossy circuit portions. Next, the formulas for the rectification efficiency of the bridge rectifier are demonstrated with the behavioral model. The indicated formulas clarify the fundamental limitation on the rectification efficiency, which is the design goal in case of the DoA topology. Finally, we demonstrate a 5.8 GHz band 1 W rectenna with the bridge diode and the DoA topology. The bridge rectifier that is directly connected to the inductive high-impedance antenna achieved a rectification efficiency of 92.8% at an input power of 1 W. This is close to the fundamental limitation due to the diode performance.
