1. A receiver, comprising:

  • an antenna element for receiving wireless signals comprising energy resulting from constructive interference patterns of radio-frequency (RF) waves;

    a rectifier, operatively coupled to the antenna element for converting the energy received by the antenna element;

    an input boost converter, operatively coupled to the rectifier, the input boost converter being configured to step up the energy converted by the rectifier;

    a storage element, operatively coupled to the input boost converter, the storage element being configured to receive and store at least a portion of the energy from the boost converter;

    an output boost converter, operatively coupled to the storage element; and

    a controller, operatively coupled to the output boost converter, wherein the controller is configured to process and determine load requirements for the receiver and control operation of the input boost converter and output boost converter based on the determined load requirements.
