Engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a new form of technology that combines two well-established technologies — a rectifier and an antenna — to create a device capable of ...

Using nanometer-scale components, researchers have demonstrated the first optical rectenna, a device that combines the functions of an antenna and a rectifier diode to convert light directly into DC ...

A new kind of nanoscale rectenna (half antenna and half rectifier) can convert solar and infrared into electricity, plus be tuned to nearly any other frequency as a detector. Right now efficiency is ...

Researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology in the US are claiming a world first with the fabrication of a new kind of optical device that combines the function of a photodetector and a rectifier ...

The research team that announced the first optical rectenna in 2015 is now reporting a two-fold efficiency improvement in the devices -- and a switch to air-stable diode materials. The improvements ...

KAWASAKI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched “DF2B6M4BSL,” an ultra-low capacitance TVS diode for high-frequency antennas. The diode ...

This PIN diode rf switch is the ideal antenna switch for VHF and UHF and work with the PIN diodes which are special high frequency switching diodes with very low internal capacitance. The internal ...

IOP Science – Wireless power transmission to inexpensive and disposable smart electronic devices is one of the key issues for the realization of a ubiquitous society where sensor networks such as RFID ...

Developed by engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, optical rectennas use carbon nanotubes that act as antennas to capture light from the sun or other sources. As the waves of light hit the ...
