Abstract
En 中文
This paper presents an advanced radio frequency (RF)–direct current (DC) power conversion architecture based on a multistage Cockcroft–Walton topology. The proposed design achieves an enhanced voltage conversion ratio while maintaining superior RF-DC conversion efficiency under low input power conditions. To address the inherent limitations of cascading Cockcroft–Walton topologies with class-F load networks, a novel ground plane isolation technique was developed, which utilizes the reverse-side metallization of the circuit board. A 5.8 GHz two-stage Cockcroft–Walton voltage multiplier rectifier was fabricated and characterized. Measurement results demonstrate that the circuit achieves a maximum output voltage of 7.4 V and a peak conversion efficiency of 70.5% with an input power of only 30 mW, while maintaining stable performance across varying load conditions. A comparison with a two-stage Dickson rectifier reveals that the Cockcroft–Walton rectifier exhibits superior output voltage and conversion efficiency. The proposed architecture delivers significant improvements in power conversion efficiency and voltage multiplication capability compared to conventional designs, establishing a new benchmark for low-power wireless energy harvesting applications.
