1. A power supply device comprising:
- a plurality of power sources each including an antenna and an AC/DC conversion unit that converts an AC signal received by the antenna to a DC signal;
a plurality of consolidating units each including a first consolidating circuit to which a plurality of DC signals are supplied from the plurality of power sources, each of the first consolidating circuits including a plurality of first switches connected between the plurality of power sources and a first output node of the first consolidating circuit; and
a power supply unit that includes a second consolidating circuit and a first voltage conversion circuit that converts a DC signal resulting from consolidation in the second consolidating circuit, to a predetermined voltage,wherein the second consolidating circuit is supplied with the DC signals output from the first output nodes of the first consolidating circuits, and the second consolidating circuit includes a plurality of second switches connected between the plurality of first output nodes and a second output node.
