The feasibility of energy harvesting using the human body, which is used instead of a general antenna as an antenna in a low-frequency band to harvest energy included in an ambient electromagnetic wave, is investigated. Using the presented method, it is possible to harvest much more power in comparison with that possible with the previous method, in which a general antenna is used to harvest power in the high-frequency band. Also, this method can be easily applied to mobile devices because no antenna is required.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
