Abstract
In this article, the design procedure of the winning WEH device in the IMS2012 Student Design Competition is presented. The designed WEH circuit is a rectenna consisting of a rectifier in voltage doubler structure and a folded dipole antenna. The design steps of the rectifier circuit and the antenna are explained in detail, and simulation and measurement results are shown.
