conference paper Sanaz Haddadian author 59648 Christoph Scheytt author 371440000-0002-5950-6618 58 department Targeting the feasible application of microwave RFID systems with MIMO reader technology for tracking small objects in multipath fading conditions, we present a fully integrated Analog Front-End (AFE) designed and fabricated in a standard 65-nm CMOS technology for low power passive RFID tags in the 5.8 GHz ISM band. A differential drive power scavenging unit is dimensioned to provide a 1.2 V rectified voltage resulting in a 1 V regulated voltage for the AFE while supplying a 50 μW load. Transistors with standard threshold voltage (V th ) have been used for implementation. Measurements of the fabricated circuits show a maximum Power Conversion Efficiency (PCE) of 71.8% at -12.5 dBm, and an input quality factor (Q-factor) of approximately 10. 2019 eng 10.1109/RFID-TA.2019.8892037 Haddadian, S., &#38; Scheytt, C.
