Phase and frequency self-configurable efficient low voltage harvester for zero power wearable devices

Pierre-André Farine, Alexis Boegli, Milad Ataei Ashtiani

This paper describes a converter which configures itself to increase power transfer and decrease losses. The system controls its three timing variables by three loops in a stable manner. A time domain state-space averaging model is used to design the syste ...
