- Technical Offering
-
- Transferring power requirements in WPT characteristics
- Antenna selection, design, miniaturization and optimization
- Rectifying circuit design and power conversion efficiency optimization

- Main Equipment
-
- CST Microwave Studio full-wave electromagnetic simulation software
- In-house developed diode analysis software
- Several State of the Art Vector Network Analysers and Spectrum Analysers
- Several State of the Art Signal Generators
- Typical applications
- Autonomous wireless sensor nodes – for home sensing and automation – are equipped with (super) capacitor power supplies. These capacitors are (semi-) continuously charged from a base station that is up to 10 meters distant from the node. One base station can power a multitude of sensor nodes within a 10 m radius.
- Case Study
- An SME or research team need to power a network of low-power wireless sensors but cannot use cabling or batteries. This can be due to retrofit specifications or harsh (industrial) environments. ENABLES will provide design and prototyping facilities for a radio wave powered solution.
