Microstrip Dual-Frequency Voltage Doubling Rectifier Circuit
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 168, 21-25, 2026
Abstract
We present a microstrip dual-frequency rectifier circuit, which includes a voltage-doubling rectifier circuit, a sector-shaped dual-frequency harmonic suppression network, and a Π-shaped dual-frequency impedance matching network. Four fan-shaped microstrip stubs were utilized to suppress the fundamental and higher-order harmonics in the two frequency bands. A microstrip line is employed to form a Π-shaped impedance matching network to achieve impedance matching in both frequency bands. The measured results show that at input power of 15 dBm, the rectification efficiencies are 50% and 43% at frequencies of 2.45 GHz and 5.80 GHz, respectively. This dual-frequency rectifier circuit can be applied to scenarios such as powering passive RFID tags and IoT sensors.
