The increasing availability of small, lightweight, and affordable low-power microcontrollers, RF transmitters, and MEMS sensors has opened up the possibilities of smart, integrated wireless sensor networks for monitoring and control of industrial equipment, buildings, medical devices, and transportation vehicles. Energy harvesting technology is key to enabling increased intelligence and proliferation of these sensor networks, which are currently limited but available.
