Method and apparatus for dynamic rf power splitting through manipulation of dc output properties

A apparatus, comprising:

• an antenna;
• a radio-frequency (RF) tuning network configured to receive an input signal via the antenna;
• an RF energy harvester operatively coupled to the RF tuning network and configured to receive an output of the RF tuning network and to produce a direct current (DC) output based on the received output of the RF tuning network;
• and
• a load manipulator coupled to an output of the RF energy harvester and configured to be transitioned between a first configuration and a second configuration to manipulate one or more properties associated with the RF energy harvester such that an input impedance of the RF energy harvester changes from a first input impedance to a second input impedance, the first input impedance associated with a first distribution of RF energy associated with the input signal relative to the RF energy harvester and the second input impedance associated with a second distribution of RF energy associated with the input signal relative to the RF energy harvester.
