Abstract
A highly integrated RF power and information receiving system is proposed in this paper. The system consists of an antenna, a rectifier, and an information receiving module. The information receiving module acts as part of the dc load. To realize high integration, a dual-band, dual-circular-polarized shared- aperture antenna is implemented. The antenna consists of a left-circular-polarized element operating at 2.4-GHz band, and a high-gain, right-circular-polarized <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$2\times 2$ </tex-math></inline-formula> array operating at 5.8-GHz band. The lower-frequency antenna is for communication, while the higher-frequency one is for power transmission. All the elements share the same aperture, and the radiator of lower- frequency antenna acts as the reflector of higher-frequency elements. Accordingly, a class-F rectifier that matches the higher- frequency array is designed and verified, and a system-level demonstration is implemented. Owing to the high isolation on frequency splitting and polarization diversity, the baseband signal can be successfully demodulated under a 30-dB input-power-level difference at two frequency bands. The base-band information can be displayed by an ink screen. The received RF power can be effectively rectified and power the data-processing modules.
