180° Hybrid Coupler for a Full-wave Power Rectifier Detector for Wireless Power Transfer

This paper presents a novel design for a full-wave rectifier using a 180° hybrid coupler. This technique ensures a 180° phase shift for providing two inputs to a diode bridge with receiving dual inputs from antennas for combining radio frequencies. The L-type matching network is connected between a 180° hybrid coupler and a full-wave rectifier for maximum output power in the load stage. Simulation and measurement test are in match which proves the accuracy of the design. The idea of the proposed work could be adopted for wireless power transfer and electronic devices to serve the industrial' scientific' and medical applications.
