As titled, I'd like to explore the output power of a simple diode-based rectifier circuit, excited by an antenna (assumed to be 50 ohm impedance). Please give me some advice how to do this. I tried the following modes, but not quite sure they were correct.

1/ Harmonic balance mode:

  • To get the numerical values of power ( Pout= Vout * Iout): Harmonic balance is the best?
  • Which one is more correct: Antenna is a P_1Tone (Z = 50ohm, P=Pin) or V_1Tone (V = dbmtov(Pin,50ohm)) + Z1P_Eqn(Z(1,1)=50 ohm) ?
  • Is it correct that the input power to the rectifier can be varied by varying P?
  • Same question, with multi-band antenna: P_1tone with f = f1, f2, f3... in turn? Or P_nTone?

2/ S parameter mode:

  • Same question with the above questions, with 1-band and multi-band antennas? In my simulation, I simply used a 50-ohm terminal to model the 1-band antenna. And I don't know how to deal with multi-band ones.

I'd highly appreciate if someone could help me in these.
