To reduce the weight of a satellite, an internal wireless system (IWS) for satellites was proposed in a previous study. It is a system that can communicate between the satellite's subsystems by using wireless communication modules. In this paper, we propose a complete IWS for a satellite using microwave wireless power transmission technology. The design of a 5.8-GHz high efficiency rectifier circuit-based charge pump circuit is also presented. Furthermore, we introduced a class-F load that can process the third harmonic components. The rectifying efficiencies of a normal charge pump rectifier and a charge pump rectifier with the class-F load are theoretically compared. To improve the conversion efficiency of the charge pump rectifier, the applied voltages of diodes are adjusted. Owing to inserting the class-F load and adjusted the applied voltage of diodes in this circuit, the conversion efficiency of the charge pump circuit at 30 mW increases to about 78% at 30 mW in the simulation, and to about 71% conversion efficiency in the experiment. In addition, the output voltage is higher than 5 V at an optimal load 1300 Omega.
