This article proposes a novel concept for constructing a microwave(MW)rectifying circuit by using a multilayer structure,aiming at reducing physical dimensions.Specifically,conductor layers in the multilayer structure are interconnected with an embedded via-hole.Then,an S-band rectifying circuit based on HSMS-282 CSchottky diode is fabricated with the proposed multilayer structure for demonstration.The maximum MW-DC conversion efficiency of 73% has been measured.In comparison with the conventional microstri...
