Abstract

Energy Harvesting Active Networked Tags (EnHANTs) are a new class of devices in the domain between RFIDs and sensor networks. EnHANTs will be small, flexible, and energetically self-reliant. Their development is enabled by advances in ultra-low-power ultrawideband (UWB) communications and in organic semiconductorbased energy harvesting materials. In this demo, we present UWBenabled EnHANT prototypes. Each prototype is based on a MICA2 mote integrated with a UWB Transceiver and an energy harvesting module (EHM) that allows demonstrating energy harvestingadaptive communications. Additional information about EnHANTs is available at [2] and http://enhants.ee.columbia.edu.
