Abstract

In this paper, a CMOS bridge rectifier for HF and microwave RFID systems is presented. The proposed RFID CMOS bridge rectifier is designed with two NMOSs and two PMOSs whose gates are connected to the antenna, and it is operated as a full wave bridge rectifier. The simulation results obtained with SPICE show the well rectified and high enough DC output voltages for the operating frequencies of 13.56 MHz, 915 MHz, and 2.45 GHz which are used in various RFID systems. The obtained DC output voltages are sufficiently high for driving the low power microchip in RFID transponder for the frequency range of HF and microwave.
