Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis, Experimental Results, and Range Adaptation of Magnetically Coupled Resonators for Wireless Power Transfer
TL;DR: A circuit model is presented along with a derivation of key system concepts, such as frequency splitting, the maximum operating distance (critical coupling), and the behavior of the system as it becomes undercoupled, including the introduction of key figures of merit.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Ambient backscatter: wireless communication out of thin air
TL;DR: The design of a communication system that enables two devices to communicate using ambient RF as the only source of power is presented, enabling ubiquitous communication where devices can communicate among themselves at unprecedented scales and in locations that were previously inaccessible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design of an RFID-Based Battery-Free Programmable Sensing Platform
TL;DR: To the authors' knowledge, WISP is the first fully programmable computing platform that can operate using power transmitted from a long-range (UHF) RFID reader and communicate arbitrary multibit data in a single response packet.
Patent
Inertially controlled switch and RFID tag
TL;DR: One or more inertially controlled switches may be coupled to a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, so that the response of the RFID tag indicates the state of the switch as discussed by the authors.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Wi-fi backscatter: internet connectivity for RF-powered devices
TL;DR: Wi-Fi Backscatter is presented, a novel communication system that bridges RF-powered devices with the Internet and shows that it is possible to reuse existing Wi-Fi infrastructure to provide Internet connectivity to RF- powered devices.
