Additional information
This work reports on a novel approach to microcontroller remote powering using microwave energy. The measurement results show that the energy harvesting system can provide 2 V to turn on the microcontroller (e.g. for bioimplant use) with only 15.6 dBm (27.5 W) radio frequency input power, and that the battery-less microcontroller can be wirelessly powered when located up to a distance of 57 cm from a transmitter supplying a total of just 100 mW of microwave power.
