Abstract

A novel 10-Watt-Level high-power microwave rectifier with an inverse Class-F harmonic network for microwave power transmission (MPT) is presented in this paper. The high-power microwave rectifier circuit comprises four sub-rectifier circuits, a 1 × 4 power divider, and a parallel-series dc synthesis network. The simple inverse Class-F harmonic control network serves dual roles: harmonic control and impedance matching. The 1 × 4 power divider increases the RF input power fourfold, reaching 40 dBm (10 W). The parallel-series dc synthesis network enhances the resistance to load variation. The high-power rectifier circuit is simulated, fabricated, and measured. The measurement results demonstrate that the rectifier circuit can reach a maximum RF input power of 10 W at 2.45 GHz, with a maximum rectifier efficiency of 61.1% and an output dc voltage of 23.9 V, which has a large application potential in MPT.
