This paper introduces a high-efficiency and a wide-frequency band RF-to-DC rectifier with an enhanced voltage conversion ratio (VCR) for implantable biomedical devices. The rectifier utilizes bootstrapped CMOS devices for threshold potential reduction. These devices (NMOS and PMOS) have bootstrapped gates. This is used to reduce the needed RF input voltage which turns rectifying devices ON, effect...
