Popis: This study introduces a rectenna, functioning as an RF envelope detector, utilizing a 16 nm bulk MOS transistor (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor) for nonlinear detection. A circuit architecture is presented alongside a detailed design methodology and simulations. The detector efficiently demodulates a 2.4 GHz OOK (On/Off Keying) encoded signal, comprising a 32-bit word, within 320 μs. Remarkably, the circuit operates passively, requiring no voltage supply or bias current, and functions effectively with −53 dBm input power at the antenna. This capability enables the decoding of 32-bit unsigned integer radio packets as a wakeup radio event. The effectiveness of the envelope detector is substantiated through comprehensive simulations.
