By utilizing a depletion-mode metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), the diode's breakdown voltage can be enlarged while preserving the same threshold voltage. Therefore, compared with traditional rectifiers, this proposed rectifier can perform a high RF-to-dc power conversion efficiency (PCE) in a much wider input power range. The rectifier's performance has been proved by measurement results, which show that a PCE above 50% can be achieved over the input power range from -13.5 to 16.7 dBm.","PeriodicalId":119627,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Workshop on Electromagnetics, Applications and Student Innovation Competition","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123726398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By applying this new grid, the efficiency of MLGFIM is greatly enhanced.
