Wireless / RF Energy Harvesting
Energy harvesting is a key technology for enabling long-term, maintenance-free operation of low-power electronic devices, such as wireless sensors. By capturing waste energy from the environment, from such sources as lighting, temperature differentials, vibrations, and radio waves (RF energy),
it can be reused to operate low-power electronic devices. Of these
micro-power energy sources, energy from RF transmitters can provide
unique benefits including predictable and consistent power over
distance, and enable the energy harvester to be untethered from the
power source. Ambient RF energy is currently available from
billions of radio transmitters around the world, including mobile
telephones, handheld radios, mobile base stations, and television/ radio
broadcast stations. For More information read our white paper: RF-based Wireless Charging and Energy Harvesting
