Abstract

This paper shows an efficient wireless power receiver (WPR) based on multiple energy harvesting (EH) methodology. The proposed WPR structure consists of a high and low power route holding power conversion efficiency (PCE) high in a broad scope input. Solar/Thermoelectric /Triboelectric/Vibration/RF energies are proposed as multiple hybrid energy sources. Thermal and Solar Energy Harvester is proposed with Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) in Time-Domain. For Triboelectric/Vibration EH and high power path energy harvesting, highly efficient rectifier in full wave (FWR) and RF-DC converter operating at 5.8 GHz are presented to make the scope of power input increased. A 0.18 µm Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS processing is used for the chip fabrication. The RF-DC operating at 5.8 GHz attains 76.9% at 30 dBm for PCE. A PCE of 69.85% is achieved using the harvester of solar energy as a peak point. The RF-DC converters of low power path in 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz frequency attain 73% and 71.9% PCE results at 0 dBm in 1 mW as a peak.
