Abstract

See full text

In some embodiments, an apparatus includes an antenna and a rectifier operatively coupled to the antenna and configured to receive an input power via the antenna. The rectifier can include a plurality of stages, each stage of the plurality of stages including a tuning network including one or more lumped elements. An initial stage can be configured to receive the input power and produce a power based on the input power. Each stage of the plurality of stages coupled to the antenna via at least one previous stage can be configured to receive a power from the previous stage and to produce a subsequent power associated with (e.g., based on) the power received from the previous stage. The rectifier can be configured to output a power associated with a direct current (DC) voltage having a voltage level based on a voltage level associated with the input power.
