Backflow in rectifiers may be reduced via biasing. Upon determining that backflow within a rectifier is likely, one or more rectifying elements in the rectifier may be debiased, via analog or digital means. The debiased rectifying elements become less conductive or nonconductive, thereby reducing or preventing backflow. The determination of backflow likelihood may be performed based on a signal to be backscattered or the amplitude-modulated envelope of an incident RF wave, and may be digital or analog in nature.
