Abstract

In the last two decades, energy harvesting technologies have generated significant interest, attributed to the decline in the power consumption of digital electronics. Electromagnetic (EM) power harvesting and delivery mechanisms, across the frequency spectrum, have been researched. In this chapter, we start by introducing the state-of-the-art in RF-enabled energy harvesting and wireless power transfer (WPT) technologies. Moving from device-level to system-level perspectives, the key enabling platforms are discussed with their environmental impact evaluated to assess their potential use enablers of net-zero intelligent systems.
