Investigation of wirelessly powered circuit for low-power adiabatic logic circuits

In this paper, a rectenna for low power logical circuit using adiabatic principle is proposed. To operate the logic circuit with adiabatic principle, our rectenna outputs a quasi-AC voltage instead of DC voltage. The need to ground the on chip MOS-FET´s back gate for rectification and the need for resistance to shape the output waveform are described. Basic logic circuits using our rectenna are shown to work correctly. And conditions for adiabatic logic circuit become low power is investigated.
