Prototype implementation of ambient RF energy harvesting wireless sensor networks
Abstract
Energy harvesting is a key technique that can be used to overcome the barriers that prevent the real world deployment of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In particular, solar energy harvesting has been commonly used to overcome this barrier. However, it should be noted that WSNs operating on solar power suffer form energy shortage during nighttimes. Therefore, to solve this problem, we exploit the use of TV broadcasts airwaves as energy sources to power wireless sensor nodes. We measured the output of a rectenna continuously for 7 days; from the results of this measurement, we showed that Radio Frequency (RF) energy can always be harvested. We developed an RF energy harvesting WSN prototype to show the effectiveness of RF energy harvesting for the usage of a WSN. We also proposed a duty cycle determination method for our system, and verified the validity of this method by implementing our system. This RF energy harvesting method is effective in a long period measurement application that do not require high power consumption.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
