Fig. 4. Contents of conversion circuit loss (a) as a function of load resistance and (b) as a function of incident power. Fig. 5. Efficiency, conversion circuit loss and mismatch loss (a) as a function of load resistance and (b) as a function of incident power. conversion circuit loss is composed of three kinds of losses, i.e. the losses due to the nonlinear resistance Rj, the series resistance Rs of the diode and the conduction loss of the lines. Each of their characteristics are shown in Fig. 4. The conduction loss of the lines is about 5%, and the loss due to/?5 is about 15%. These losses scarcely vary, but the loss due to Rj varies with the load resistance change or the incident power change.
