- This paper develops effective impedance matching methods for wideband wireless energy harvester with an extendable operating frequency bands and improved stability in terms of dynamic power levels and circuitry loads. This research explores efficient wideband energy harvester circuitry design by mainly using surface mountable devices (e.g., chip capacitors and diodes), therefore enabling the integration of energy harvesters at chip-level. This work has been utilized by Global Wireless Solutions, Inc. to develop a “wireless battery for small electronics” by integrating the energy harvester and power management unit [Contact: CEO, Global Wireless Solutions].
