Energized IOT Sensor through RF Harvesting Energy

Abstract

Wireless Power Collecting (WPC) present the future in powering and energizing intelligent Internet of Things (IoT) electronics devices. This chapter studies and utilizes a circuit to powering wirelessly IoT devices. The WPC offer a best technique to help researchers and engineers of modern societies to build cell blocks. The concept is to energy any IoT devices and sensors wirelessly from Radio Frequency (RF) power strength in the same areas that may be hard to achieve or potentially hazardous. We implemented the RF harvesting technology with IoT devices to increase the efficiency of sensors. The idea of this system is to power up and self-energize any IoT sensors wirelessly. This work studies two different topologies of a rectangular patch antenna and different RF harvesting circuit voltage multiplier configurations using a microwave power station as the input RF source. This work aims to utilize the wireless power transmission technique in the smart house solution. The proposed prototype gets all technical parameters to generate enough electricity to power up the bulbs 5 W wirelessly at a gap distance around a five meters. Finally, we test the RF rectifier circuit coupled with a twin patch antenna that can self-energize the bulb, eventually devices work without batteries.
