Abstract:
A rectenna device includes an antenna (210), a first rectifier (31) to rectify a radio frequency wave input in the antenna (210), an antenna (220), a second rectifier (32) to rectify a radio frequency wave input in the antenna (220), and a capacitive coupler (5) to form an open circuit in response to direct current and to form a short circuit in response to a fundamental wave. The first rectifier (31) includes a ground (GND) conductor (410) to be a reference potential, and the second rectifier (32) includes a GND conductor (420) to be a reference potential. The GND conductor (410) and the GND conductor (420) are connected with the capacitive coupler (5) in between. The first rectifier (31) and the second rectifier (32) are connected in series.
