Background

A conventional wireless energy harvester receives ambient electromagnetic waves via a connector, and converts the alternating power into a direct current (DC) power supply. However, this introduces a problem: converting a harvest AC signal to a DC supply voltage results in a significant energy loss due to low power efficiencies of the rectification process. Thus it is not practical.

Technology

A passive charge recovery logic circuit that includes an electromagnetic field capturing device that harvest ambient electromagnetic energy.
