Abstract: A novel, single-phase soft-switched boost AC-DC rectifier that operates with power-factor correction is proposed in this paper. The rectifier is a modified boost voltage-doubler converter ...

Abstract: AC-DC rectifier and storage capacitors take up 25% or more of chip area for cost-sensitive passive RFID tags. In this work, we show that these components can be eliminated by utilizing a ...

Left panel, superconducting rectifier circuit used to convert AC currents into DC using four superconducting diodes (blue) connected by superconducting interconnects and one smoothing capacitor (C ...
