Patent attributes
Synchronous rectifiers for wireless power receivers are disclosed herein. An example receiver includes: an antenna configured to: (i) receive radio frequency (RF) power transmission waves and (ii) convert the received RF power transmissions waves into an alternating current. The receiver also includes a synchronous rectifier, coupled to the antenna, configured to synchronously rectify the alternating current into a direct current, wherein the synchronous rectifier includes: a first diode configured to receive a first portion of the alternating current that has a positive polarity, a second diode configured to receive a second portion of the alternating current that has a negative polarity, a first transistor coupled to the first diode, and a second transistor coupled to the second diode.
