Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices that facilitate power transfer to a remote sensor using radio frequency (RF) signals described. A remote sensor may harvest energy from signals absorbed by the sensor's antenna. The harvested energy may power the remote sensor and facilitate data transmissions to a base station of a network.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a sensor, a plurality signals broadcast at a plurality of frequencies, each signal of the plurality of signals broadcast at a different frequency of the plurality of frequencies;
- converting a first signal of the plurality of signals to a current;
- and
- energizing the Sensor using the current.

A system comprising:
- a remote sensor including at least one Antenna communicatively coupled to a rectifier circuit;
- computer readable memory storing instructions that when executed by the remote Sensor cause the remote sensor device to perform operations including:
- receiving, via the at least one antenna, a plurality signals broadcast at a plurality of frequencies, each signal of the plurality of signals broadcast at a different frequency of the plurality of frequencies;
- converting, via the rectifier, a first signal of the plurality of signals to a current;
- and
- energizing transmitting the current to a remote device.
3 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
- receive, by a Sensor, a plurality signals broadcast at a plurality of frequencies, each signal of the plurality of signals broadcast at a different frequency of the plurality of frequencies;
- convert a first signal of the plurality of signals to a current;
- and
- energize the Sensor using the current.
