Abstract
The sharp turn-on diode by our newly proposed steep subthreshold slope (SS) “PN-Body Tied (PNBT) SOI-FET” was successfully modeled for circuit simulations. We simulated the rectenna with a combination of the PNBT-diode and the high impedance (Hi-Z) antenna. The rectification efficiency over 50 % at the input of -30 dBm will be obtained. It is very high efficiency compared with the optimized conventional diodes. We fabricated the Cockcroft-Walton rectifier with PNBT-diodes. It was also confirmed that the efficiency is improved, as expected by simulations.
