Hybrid Voltage Multiplier for RF Energy Harvesting Circuits
Paper describes the design of an improved voltage multiplier for Radio Frequency (RF) energy harvesting circuits using a generic doubler circuit and the Dickson's charge pump, all these utilize the BAT63 02V Schottky diode. The design is based on using four narrow band antennas operating at 800MHz, 1800MHz 2100MHz and 2400MHz, the designs and simulations are performed by Keysight's ADS 2019 simulation software, the outputs observed show improved voltage levels that can be used to operate ultra low powered devices such as sensor nodes and remotes.
