These types of solutions typically require special alignment and charging docks. Far-field radiative RF power transfer offers a solution for continuous wireless power over a distance. This work focusses on harvesting RF energy at lower input power levels than state-of-the-art solutions, and offering a better operating distance than other radiative solutions.

Most of today's RF harvesters either have poor sensitivity, or require calibration, or a special technology process, or a large chip/antenna area. We want to focus on a design that consumes a small area, good sensitivity and wireless range performance. The IC design will focus on a combination of a rectifier and a boost-buck DC-DC converter. The challenge is to come to an adaptive rectifier design with a large voltage boost (and hence good sensitivity), but minimizing the drop in output current at the same time. The DC/DC converter will be co-designed with the rectifier to deal with fluctuating input conditions and load impedances, for an optimum power-point-tracking (PPT) system with high flexibility and adaptivity.

Outline of the project:

Literature survey of the state-of-the-art rectifier and DC-DC converters for RF wireless power transfer

Propose architecture of RF wireless power transfer IC.

System simulation, circuit design and IC measurement.

Documentation.
