Enhancing the Energy/Power Efficiency of a DC Distribution Grid for Residential Buildings via Modular Architecture of DC/DC Solid State Transformers
DC power is apparently attempting to breach into the power system – the system which it once lost to the AC power paradigm. DC is already present in the generation, transmission and utilization sides of the system, leaving distribution as the only area where it has not shown any significant presence – this may be…
Read More A Rectification Circuit with Co-Planar Waveguide Antenna for 2.45 GHz Energy Harvesting System
A new approach for designing RF energy harvester with a single stage converter circuit is presented in this paper. The proposed converter configuration is integrated with an antenna that is based on the coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line with improved gain resonated at 2.45 frequency ISM band. The CPW patch antenna as a harvester antenna…
Read More A High Efficiency 0.13μm CMOS Full Wave Active Rectifier with Comparators for Implanted Medical Devices
This paper presents a full wave active rectifier for biomedical implanted devices using a new comparator in order to reduce the rectifier transistors reverse current. The rectifier was designed in 0.13μm CMOS process and it can deliver 1.2Vdc for a minimum signal of 1.3Vac. It achieves a power conversion efficiency of 92% at the 13.56MHz…
Read More A Novel Dual-Band Rectenna for Ambient RF Energy Harvesting at GSM 900 MHz and 1800 MHz
This paper presents a novel dual-band rectenna for RF energy harvesting system. This rectenna is created from a dual-band antenna and a dual-band rectifier which operates at GSM bands (900 MHz and 1800 MHz). The printed monopole antenna is miniaturized by two meander-lines. The received signal from the receiving antenna is rectified by a voltage…
