Abstract

Abstract

To solve the problems of high power consumption, requiring manual maintenance and frequent battery replacement of traditional Internet of Things (IoT) communication device, a passive WiFi IoT backscattering communication method based on electromagnetic wave energy harvesting is proposed. The device is implemented based on a low-power microprocessor platform. It can use the electromagnetic wave energy collected by itself to achieve ultra-low-power WiFi scattering communication, having advantages of low power consumption, no batteries, small size, low production cost, and no manual maintenance. It can be widely used in IoT applications.
