Abstract :
An RF power rectifier has been designed, constructed in surface-mount technology, and evaluated for use in distributed power converters for advanced electronic packaging applications. With commercially available components, a 40-W rectifier with a 100-MHz input from a 50- Omega source impedance provides 2.9-V output with 38% conversion efficiency. Detailed simulation and characterization indicates that 50-W and 10-W converters are capable of 70% and 80% conversion efficiency, respectively, with low-loss RF implementations.<>
