The Research on Application of Resistance Compression Network (RCN) in Microwave Rectifying Circuit

Resistance compression networks (RCNs) have attracted special attention in the field of wireless power transmission (WPT) since they were put forward. A lot of research work has been done in rectifier basing on RCN for the purpose of increasing conversion efficiency. It is reported that many kinds of rectifiers containing RCN which operate in various circuit and physical forms are proposed. RCN and all kinds of modified versions are studied deeply in this paper, the rectifiers related to which are analyzed also. The results show that RCN only plays the role of bandpass filter (BPF) in the rectifying circuit, which does not reach the original idea of the first proposer. We have different understandings of the rectifying circuits presented in other papers.

Automated summary

Resistance compression networks (RCNs) have been widely studied in wireless power transmission (WPT) for increasing conversion efficiency. Various rectifiers with RCN have been proposed in different circuit and physical forms. This paper deeply investigates RCN and its modified versions, as well as analyzing the related rectifiers. The results show that RCN only acts as a bandpass filter (BPF) in the rectifying circuit, contrary to the original idea of the first proposer. Different interpretations of rectifying circuits presented in other papers are observed.
