1. A receiver for providing power to a load, comprising:

  • a plurality of rectifiers, each comprising an antenna configured to convert electromagnetic energy from radio-frequency (RF) waves into AC voltage, wherein each of the plurality of rectifiers are configured to convert the AC voltage to a DC voltage and provide a DC voltage output to a common node; and

    a boost converter for increasing the DC voltage output, the boost converter comprising an inductor operatively coupled to the common node for receiving the DC voltage output, the boost converter further comprising a microcontroller for controlling an amount of power provided from the inductor.
