Another consideration is the form factor.
Some applications, such as smart
cards, use thin film batteries, making
RF energy harvesting the most compatible
source for energy harvesting.
The block diagram of a typical
system using RF energy harvesting
is provided in Figure 6. RF energy
at either single or multiple antennas
is converted to dc, transformed
to the appropriate voltage by a supply
management system, and stored
until it is needed by the rest of the
system, which includes sensors, a
microcontroller, and a transceiver. In
this diagram, the radio and the energy
harvesting use different antennas.
The advantages of this approach
are that the match for the radio and
the energy harvesting can be optimized
independently and in different
bands, and multiband harvesting is
possible. The disadvantage is larger
size. Spectrum measurements from
2013 [7] and 2018 [8] found that the
maximum outdoor energy available
was about -10 dBm at 900 MHz,
while indoors it was about -30 dBm.
