1. A radio-frequency (RF) rectifier circuit comprising:

  • a resistive termination to circuit ground;

    a plurality of inductors connected electrically in series between an input node for receiving an input RF signal and the resistive termination, each pair of electrically adjacent inductors of the plurality of inductors being connected together at a respective in-line node;

    a first pair of rectifier components electrically coupling at least a first one of the in-line nodes to a respective direct current (DC) output node, each rectifier component having a cathode and an anode, a first rectifier component of the first pair of rectifier components having the cathode electrically connected to the first in-line node and a second rectifier component of the first pair of rectifier components having the anode electrically connected to the first in-line node.
