band (IR-UWB) transmitter (TX) front-end, powered by an RF-energy-harvester in 180 nm
CMOS technology, is presented. The TX is working in the 7 GHz band transmitting with-42
dBm at 5.12 kbps data rate, consuming 1.89 μW. Two circuit implementations of RF-energy-
harvesters are presented and, based on measurements, a combined and optimized
structure is proposed which is capable of generating 5 μW dc-power at-13.3 dBm RF input …
