Abstract :
This work is aimed to acquire knowledge on the RF/DC conversion process, based on hybrid technology and using a reconfigurable matching network. For this purpose, a test circuit operating at UHF TV broadcasting frequencies is designed, realized and measured for different frequencies, input power levels and load values.
