A rectenna controller connected to a rectenna that receives radio frequency power and converts the radio frequency power into direct current power, the rectenna controller controlling the direct current power received from the rectenna and supplying the controlled direct current power to a load, the rectenna controller including: an input terminal receiving the direct current power converted by the rectenna; an output terminal supplying the controlled direct current power to the load; a first switching element disposed in a current path connecting the input terminal to the output terminal; and a controller controlling the first switching element, wherein when the controller does not operate, the first switching element becomes conducting to render the current path conductive.
