Hybrid rectenna and monolithic integrated zero-bias microwave rectifier

In this study, we have developed a hybrid sensitive rectenna (rectifier + antenna) system at 2.45 GHz. To achieve this system, we have first optimized and validated a zero-bias microwave sensitive rectifier using commercial Schottky diodes. We have then optimized and achieved a 2times2 patch antenna array, which is associated to the microwave rectifier in order to validate the rectenna system, where an RF-dc conversion efficiency of 56% has been observed experimentally. In order to minimize the rectenna dimensions, we have conducted a study using the OMMIC ED02AH 0.20-mum GaAs pseudomorphic high electron-mobility transistor process to develop and achieve a monolithic rectifier at 2.45 GHz with RF-dc conversion efficiency of 65%
