Abstract :
The technology for harvesting wireless power is essentially based on radio-frequency identification, or RFID. A transmitter sends a burst of radio-frequency energy that both carries information to a chip and can be converted to dc electricity to power it. A tag consisting of an antenna and a microchip responds by sending back data about the object it is attached to.
