Abstract :
This paper describes a method of charging a low power sensor by harvesting RF signals. The paper introduces an integration scheme of the RF harvester consisting of voltage booster and a rectifier to convert the AC voltage to DC voltage. The work presented here focuses on modeling and implementation of a design. Results show good improvement.
