Abstract(in English) As a device for wireless power transmission, we are developing a new rectenna that uses a gated anode diode (GAD) that short-circuits the gate electrode and ohmic electrode of a normally-off type GaN HEMT. In this study, a wide recess gate type GaN GAD was prepared and the recess length dependence of its electrical characteristics was investigated. Typical DC characteristics of the HEMT are a threshold voltage Vth of +0.3 V and a maximum drain current Imax = 300 mA / mm. The GAD using this HEMT showed the characteristics of forward current If = 350 mA / mm and reverse breakdown voltage BVr = 40 V. When the performance of the bridge type rectifier at 5.8 GHz was predicted using the SPICE model extracted from this device, good characteristics with a rectifier efficiency of 81% and a DC output of 10 W were obtained with a GAD with a gate width of 0.8 mm.
