| Title |
RF energy harvesting for monitoring a wireless sensor network |
| Supervisor |
Reza Soleymani |
| Description |
We are surrounded by radiofrequency energy originating from the growing number of connected devices of wireless networks. The broadcasted radio frequency from various transmitters in big cities (such as cellphones, Wi-Fi routers, radio base stations, etc.) can be harvested and used to charge other devices with the capability of wireless charging. The objective of this project is to design and implement a wireless sensor network consisting of several temperature and pressure sensors powered only by an RF energy receiver. For this purpose, an RF to DC converter should be designed.
The project involves the following Tasks:
1.Studying wireless sensor network
2.Design and implement of an efficient RF to DC converter
3.Writing the report.
4.Demonstration of the result.
