Abstract
A magnetoelectric antenna (ME) is a miniaturized device that exhibits the dual capability of energy harvesting and sensing in different frequency bands. In this paper, a behavioral circuit model for the ME antenna is presented to capture the radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting operation during circuit simulations. The ME antenna design of this work is under development for wireless communication with implantable devices, where one role of the antenna is to receive pulse-modulated power from a nearby transmitter. In this application, the proposed behavioral ME antenna model can be utilized during design optimizations of the energy harvesting circuits. The model has been assessed through simulations with an energy harvester design in 65nm CMOS technology. Measurements were performed to validate the results of the wireless power transfer link with an ME antenna having a 2.57 GHz resonance frequency connected to an energy harvester chip.
