Dear all,
I am currently working on simulating a half-wave rectifier and single stage voltage multiplier circuit, and I come across some voltage input difference in the harmonic balance simulation.
Basically, all the parameters (input power, frequency, diodes, capacitors, resistors) are set to be the same. However, the voltage input to the circuit that I measured somehow changes automatically and both voltage input are different .
I have included some pictures in this post to illustrate my point. (Attention to Vin @ 1.8GHz)
Half-wave Rectifier:
Single Stage Voltage Multiplier
As shown in the tables, the voltage input of the half-wave rectifier (0.062V) and the single stage multiplier (0.06V) are different. Could it be due to impedance mismatch between the source impedance (Z= 50 ohms)?
Would deeply appreciate if some advice could be given as I'm required to find out the best efficiency with a few rectifier as well.
Thank you.
