Additive Manufacturing Technologies For Near- And Far-Field Energy Harvesting Applications
2016 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS)(2016)
摘要
This paper reviews the fabrication and design of two different types of energy harvesting systems, that utilize ambient energy to power up connected wireless modules. A 3D/inkjet-printed origami-style (morphing) cube with orthogonally-placed patch antennas is presented which enhances the nodes diversity reception capabilities. The cube changes its shape upon heating upto 60 degrees C. In contrast, the presented near-field energy harvester utilizes the ambient RF energy of a handheld two-way radio to convert the RF signal with an efficiency of 82.5% For proof-of-concept purposes, an E-field energy harvesting receiver is fabricated on a tlexible LCP substrate with inkjet printing technology featuring an open-circuit voltage of 17.87V for an output power of 43.2 mW for the E-field energy harvester placed 7 cm away from a 1W Walkie-Talkie transmitter.
