  • Patent number: 10756573
    Abstract: A device for harvesting and managing wireless energy includes a wireless receiver, a first rectifier, a first capacitor, a voltage detection circuit, a first electrical switch, a second rectifier and a second capacitor connected to each other. The wireless receiver receives a wireless RF signal and converts it into an AC voltage with an input power. The first rectifier receives the AC voltage, converts it into a first DC voltage and transmits the first DC voltage to a load. The voltage detection circuit has a threshold voltage value and detects the first DC voltage. When the first DC voltage is larger than the threshold voltage value, the voltage detection circuit turns on the first electrical switch and the second rectifier receives the AC voltage through the first electrical switch to share the input power received by the first rectifier, thereby achieving the high energy conversion efficiency.
