How can you harvest RF energy?

December 15, 2018 By Randy Frank

At Sensors Expo, Eric Biel, an engineer from Powercast Corporation, explains how radio frequency or RF energy can be used in energy harvesting applications. RF wireless power transmitted by the PowerSpot transmitter is received by two receiver sticks with LEDs. The TX91503 PowerSpot transmitter broadcasts an RF signal in the unlicensed 915 MHz industrial, scientific […]

How do you make an RF energy harvester even better?

May 25, 2018 By Randy Frank

For Powercast, whose Powerharvester receiver (PCC110) has been deployed in industrial and commercial systems for seven years, today’s answer is reduce the footprint and volume. The company’s new PCC114 receiver chip’s footprint (1 x 0.6 x 0.3 mm) is seven times smaller than the PCC110 (2 x 2.1 x 0.9 mm) and has 20 times […]
