IoT devices range from ordinary household appliances in a \u201csmart\u201d home to sophisticated industrial and scientific tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These devices are equipped with sensors, chips and software that must be always powered and stay in communication with other devices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, power sources such as batteries may not be suitable for them because some may be embedded or hidden making changing batteries difficult.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Radiofrequency energy harvesting (RF-EH) and backscatter communication technologies are two options to overcome this problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In RF-EH, energy is transmitted to the IoT device through radio waves by a dedicated transmitter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In backscatter communication also, power is transmitted via radio waves. But, with or without the need for a dedicated transmitter. Instead, radiofrequency signals available in the vicinity, such as WiFi, and cell phone signals, are harnessed through reflection and backscatter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The RF-EH and backscatter devices have their strengths and drawbacks. For example, the backscatter devices are associated with considerable energy savings compared to the former. But they suffer from a reduced data rate and a shorter transmission range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Source: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The post is based on the article <\/span><b>\u201c<\/b><b>New powering system developed for IoT applications<\/b><b>\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> published in<\/span><b> Down To Earth <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">on<\/span><b> 13th May 2022.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: The post is based on the article \u201cNew powering system developed for IoT applications\u201d published in Down To Earth on 13th May 2022.
