An RF signal (RF0) is input to a rectifier circuit and rectified to obtain a DC signal (DC1) converted by an output part into a DC signal DC2 suitable for charging a battery, and output to the battery 100. In the power circuit, the intensity of RF0 and the voltage and current of DC1 are recognized, and DC2 output from the output part is controlled accordingly. A DC input monitor circuit monitors the values of the voltage and current of DC1. The output part and the battery can be considered as a virtual load resistance from the perspective of the side of the preceding rectifier circuit. A power conversion efficiency from RF0 to DC2 depends on RL. An output adjustment part compares the recognized RL with the value of RL at which the conversion efficiency η peaks and controls increase/decrease of the current of DC2 accordingly.
