    A thorough treatment of energy harvesting technologies, highlighting radio frequency (RF) and hybrid-multiple technology harvesting. The authors explain the principles of solar, thermal, kinetic, and electromagnetic energy harvesting, address design challenges, and describe applications. The volume features an introduction to switched mode power converters and energy storage and summarizes the challenges of different system implementations, from wireless transceivers to backscatter communication systems and ambient backscattering. This practical resource is essential for researchers and graduate students in the field of communications and sensor technology, in addition to practitioners working in these fields.

    • Describes a range of energy harvesting techniques, setting out for each the basic principles, fabrication methods (including novel nano-scale techniques), and implementation issues
    • Provides unified coverage of the topic by presenting the principles of solar, thermal, kinetic and electromagnetic energy harvesting
    • Features an introduction to switched mode power converters and energy storage
