WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION FOR SUSTAINABLE ELECTRONICS: COST WIPE - IC1301; ED. BY NUNO BORGES CARVALHO

Provides a collection of works produced by COST Action IC1301 with the goal of achieving significant advances in the field of wireless power transmission This book constitutes together information from COST Action IC1301, a group of academic and industry experts seeking to align research efforts in the field of wireless power transmission (WPT). It begins with a discussion of backscatter as a solution for Internet of Things (IoT) devices and goes on to describe ambient backscattering sensors that use FM broadcasting for low cost and low power wireless applications. The book also explores localization of passive RFID tags and augmented tags using nonlinearities of RFID chips. It concludes with a review of methods of electromagnetic characterization of textile materials for the development of wearable antennas. Wireless Power Transmission for Sustainable Electronics: COST WiPE - IC1301 covers textile-supported wireless energy transfer, and reviews methods for the electromagnetic characterization of textile materials for the development of wearable antennas. It also looks at: backscatter RFID sensor systems for remote health monitoring; simultaneous localization (of robots and objects) and mapping (SLAM); autonomous system of wireless power distribution for static and moving nodes of wireless sensor networks; and more. Presents techniques for smart beam-forming for "on demand" wireless power transmission (WPT) Discusses RF and microwave energy harvesting for space applications Describes miniaturized RFID transponders for object identification and sensing Wireless Power Transmission for Sustainable Electronics: COST WiPE - IC1301 is an excellent book for both graduate students and industry engineers involved in wireless communications and power transfer, and sustainable materials for those fields.

"This book constitutes the collected works of COST Action IC1301, a group created to bring together both academic and industry experts to align research efforts in the field of wireless power transmission (WPT). It begins with a discussion of backscatter as a solution for Internet of Things (IoT) devices and goes on to describe ambient backscattering sensors that use FM broadcasting for low cost and low power wireless applications. The book also explores localization of passive RFID tags and augmented tags using nonlinearities of RFID chips. The book concludes with a review of methods of electromagnetic characterization of textile materials for the development of wearable antennas. Wireless communications, battery-free sensors, passive RF indentification (RFID), passive wireless sensors, Internet of Things (IoT), and machine-to-machine (M2M) are systems and concepts that benefit from the use of wireless power transmission (WPT) and energy harvesting solutions to remotely power up wireless devices. While recent advances in smart phones and wireless utensils appear to be unlimited, the dependence of their operation on batteries remains a weakness, mainly because batteries have a limited lifetime and require a fast charge time to achieve continuous operation. This is where the concept of WPT is useful, bringing together energy and wireless data transmission. This substitutes the traditional powering concept, where a cable or a battery is connected to the wireless device by the transmission of energy over the air in an efficient way to power-up the device"-- Provided by publisher Cover Wireless Power Transmission for Sustainable Electronics: COST WiPE - IC1301 © 2020 Contents List of Figures List of Contributors Preface Acknowledgments 1 Textile-Supported Wireless Energy Transfer 2 A Review of Methods for the Electromagnetic Characterization of Textile Materials for the Development of Wearable Antennas 3 Smart Beamforming Techniques for “On Demand” WPT 4 Backscatter a Solution for IoT Devices 5 Ambient FM Backscattering Low-Cost and Low-Power Wireless RFID Applications 6 Backscatter RFID Sensor System for Remote Health Monitoring 7 Robotics Meets RFID for Simultaneous Localization (of Robots and Objects) and Mapping (SLAM) – A Joined Problem 8 From Identification to Sensing: Augmented RFID Tags 9 Autonomous System of Wireless Power Distribution for Static and Moving Nodes of Wireless Sensor Networks 10 Smartphone Reception of Microwatt, Meter to Kilometer Range Backscatter Resistive/Capacitive Sensors with Ambient FM Remodulation and Selection Diversity 11 Design of an ULP-ULV RF-Powered CMOS Front-End for Low-Rate Autonomous Sensors 12 Rectenna Optimization Guidelines for Ambient Electromagnetic Energy Harvesting Index
