Abstract

This paper presents the design and characterization of a millimeter wave 24 GHz rectifier. A prototype was fabricated on a Rogers 5880 substrate and was characterized over input power and frequency. The rectifier is able to collect power from the FR3 band reserved for Integrated Sensing and Communication. The rectifier exhibits a measured RF-to-dc power conversion efficiency of 21.5% for an input power of about 5 d B m and for a 1.5 k Ω load at 22.6 GHz, while its peak measured efficiency is 34% for an input power of 1 5 d B m. The potential of the rectifier in energy harvesting and wireless power transfer systems is analysed, showing that the proposed rectifier has the potential to drive low-power devices at a distance of a few meters from a base station or an access point.
