hi..
i need ur help to complete my circuit..
actually, i have the circuit and the problem is i cant define the input supply which is i want to use Yagi Uda antenna
the software i used is microwave office..

Well normally you have a transmitter or an RF signal generator as a source. The circuit that you have drawn does not look like it serves any useful purpose. What is it supposed to do?

actually there is voltage doubler circuit for single stage..
the diode i use is hsms 2820 suitable for harvesting system..
the problem is i want Yagi Uda antenna as the input..
unfortunately,i didnt know how to define it..
is that using port?the rf signal is just for component..

It is an RF generator with a few microvolts of voltage and a few nanoamps of current. A typical signal level from a 3 element beam antenna would be -130 dBm. That is about 13 orders of magnitude less than a milliwatt. You're not going to be harvesting much energy at those levels, but good luck anyway.

i plan to multiply the stage,thats why i need to do the simulation..
unfortunately,i didnt know to use Microwave Office,AWR software...
anyway..thanks a lot bro...

Multiply the stage... how? The energy delivered by the antenna is all the energy there is to be harvested. I'm assuming that by "harvest" you mean to capture RF energy and make it usable for pursposes other than supporting an information signal.
