Abstract
This paper describes the design and implementation of the 4-stage Villard multiplier for RF energy harvesting. Each stage is a combination of two HSMS 2850 Schottky diodes and two capacitors for each stage. For ambient energy harvesting, the incident power is extremely small, thus an efficient rectifier is needed. The designed rectifier with the matching circuit is a good candidate since it is able to enhance the rectified output power up to 300% during -40dBm input power compared to the rectifier circuit alone.
