Abstract :
The paper discusses the design of a power generation circuit suitable to provide the supply voltage for a passive UHF RFID tag. The proposed differential rectifier exhibits a low activation threshold and is compatible with digital CMOS technologies. The chip supply voltage is obtained through a Dickson-based voltage multiplier and an ultra low-power voltage regulator
