Hybrid Power Harvesting for Increased Power Conversion Efficiency
IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters, 2015 This work presents a cooperative power harvesting scheme, collecting power from two or more independent ambient energy sources into a single non-linear component. It is shown that the interaction of uncorrelated signals in a nonlinear device can greatly improve the conversion efficiency of the harvester.
