description: Large scale implementation of active RFID tag technology has been restricted by the need for battery replacement. Prolonging battery lifespan may potentially promote active RFID tags which offer obvious advantages over passive RFID systems. This paper explores some opportunities to simulate and develop a prototype RF energy harvester for 2.4 GHz band specifically designed for low power active RFID tag application. This system employs a rectenna architecture which is a receiving antenna attached to a rectifying circuit that efficiently converts RF energy to DC current. Initial ADS simulation results show that 2 V output voltage can be achieved using a 7 stage Cockroft-Walton rectifying circuitry with 4.881 dBm (0.325 mW) output power under 4 dBm (0.398 mW) input RF signal. These results lend support to the idea that RF energy harvesting is indeed promising. © 2012 IEEE.
