System and method for radio frequency power sensing and scavenging based on phonon-electron coupling in acoustic waveguides
Abstract:
A system and method for converting a radio frequency (RF) to a direct current (DC) signal by generating acoustic phonons from the received RF signal utilizing a piezoelectric material. The acoustic phonons of the RF signal interact with the electrons of a semiconductive material to generate a DC signal that is proportional to the power of the RF signal. The DC signal can be used to power devices or can be interpreted as a measure of a local RF frequency spectrum.
