Abstract Inserting a higher-harmonics rejection filter in rectenna circuits, the reflected signal contains only the fundamental-mode. Then, the impedance matching becomes easy allowing the complete suppression of the reflection. Circuit simulation results indicated that the rectenna circuits look like the parallel connection of the junction capacitance of the SBD and load resistance. The parameters did not vary so largely that the matching operation is stable. Also, the filter characteristics did not largely affect the parameters. The technique is applied to GaN SBD rectenna circuits and confirmed that the reflection suppression at any load resistance values.
