SUMMARY • Far-field WPT, obeying ISM EIRP limits has become feasible. • In practice this means tens of milliwats, during tens of milliseconds, every one or two minutes, on distances beyond 10m. • This is possible through a careful co-design of rectifier and antenna. • We realize far-field RF harvesters that are : • Smaller • More power efficient • Produce higher DC output voltages • Operate at lower RF input power levels Compared to any reported academic or commercial device operating at the same frequency (UHF 900MHz).
