A Novel Class-F 2.45/5.8 GHz Dual-Band Rectifier for Wireless Power Transmission

This letter proposes a high-efficiency dual-band class-F rectifier for wireless power transmission (WPT). The rectifier comprises a dual-band harmonic termination network, a dual-band matching network, a single Schottky diode, and a dc pass filter. A theoretical analysis of the harmonic termination network is performed to improve the rectifying efficiency. The network exhibits good class-F operation by controlling the second and third harmonics in dual bands. A rectifier operating at 2.45 and 5.8 GHz was designed, fabricated, and measured for validation. The measurements show maximum RF-dc conversion efficiencies of 74.9% and 61.9% with 200 and 500 Omega loads at 2.45 and 5.8 GHz, respectively. The proposed rectifier achieves dual-band harmonic control with high efficiency.
