What is the architecture of RF energy harvesting?

RF energy harvesting architecture is a mechanism that provides a sustainable energy supply with easy availability compared to other energy harvesting methods. It can help meet the energy requirements of IoT-oriented energy-constrained networks.

What is RF energy?

RF energy refers to the electrical energy generated by harvesting RF signals, both ambient and dedicated, emitted by a transmitter.

What is RF energy harvesting?

Compared with other popular energy-harvesting studies with piezo or solar energy, RF (radio frequency) energy is easier to access and transmit. RF energy–harvesting can provide higher integration levels and lower fabrication costs and thus be adapted to more applications.

What is ambient RF energy harvesting?

Ambient RF energy harvesting is the technique of harvesting power from ambient sources which are freely available electromagnetic radiations in the environment in which the sensor node is deployed.

What is ambient RF energy residue (RFEH)?

With the enormous use of RF signals for wireless communication and technology, RFEH has gained extensive interest due to ambient RF energy residue present in the surrounding. RFEH is an advent, to convert ambient RF signals into useful electrical energy .

Can ambient RF energy be a Ubiquitous Energy Solution for IoT?

We anticipate that the convergence of these two trends, the increasing reach of RF signals and the development of ultra-low-power circuits, represents an untapped opportunity for harvesting ambient RF energy as a ubiquitous energy solution for the era of IoT.
