RF Energy Transfer Testbed Based on Off-the-shelf Components for IoT Application

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a testbed for testing the RF energy transfer technology in the Internet of Things (IoT) environment, and provide experimental results obtained by using the testbed. The IoT environment considered in this paper consists of a power beacon, which is able to wirelessly transfers energy via microwave, and multiple sensor nodes, which makes use of the energy received from the power beacon. We have implemented the testbed to experiment the RF energy transfer in such IoT environment. We have used off-the-shelf hardware components to build the testbed and have made the tesbed controlled by software so that various energy and data transmission protocol experiments can easily be conducted. We also provide experimental results and discuss the future research direction.
