Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows. A flexible electromagnetic (EM) / solar energy harvester is proposed that finds application in low power energy autonomous wireless sensor networks and RFID-enabled sensors. A low cost, compact and conformal harvester is implemented on a flexible polyester (PET) substrate combining a rectenna for EM harvesting and a flexible amorphous silicon solar cell for solar energy harvesting.
