Summary: 
Voltage multiplier (VM) circuits for RF (2.45GHz)-to-DC conversion are developed for battery-less sensor nodes. Converted DC power is charged on a storage capacitor before driving a wireless sensor module. A charging time of the storage capacitor of the proposed VM circuits is reduced 1/10 of the conventional VM circuits, because they have constant current characteristics owing to self-control of body bias in diode-connected SOI MOSFETs. The wireless sensor system composed of the fabricated VM chip and a commercially available sensor module is operated using an RF signal of a wireless LAN modem (2.45GHz) as a power source.
