Abstract This paper covers the
theory and evaluation of the rectifying and propagation properties of two non-linear
transmission lines for utility power rectification. Electromagnetic fields
are launched on these microstructures and rectification is simultaneously
induced along their lengths. A current-generator elemental model was
developed and implemented; the behavior of the
model was compared to that of experimental findings for an Al-Si Schottky transmission line and for a Cd/Bi-Se
transmission line. This paper establishes the first general investigation of
such structures' rectifying behavior and provides
the first indication that slow-wave mode operation is critical to the
successful implementation of such devices. Key Words: Non-linear microstrip, Rectifying microstrip,
Microwave power rectification, Non-linear transmission line, Wireless utility
power transmission, Wideband detection |
