Analysis of the Optimum Gain of a High-Pass L-Matching Network for Rectennas

Analysis of the Optimum Gain of a High-Pass L-Matching Network for Rectennas

Rectennas, which mainly consist of an antenna, matching network, and rectifier, are used to harvest radiofrequency energy in order to power tiny sensor nodes, e.g., the nodes of the Internet of Things. This paper demonstrates for the first time, the existence of an optimum voltage gain for high-pass...
