Separate thresholds for energy harvesting and data communication help wireless nodes choose preferred transfer resources without sacrificing EH efficiency.
Time-modulated metamaterial leaky-wave antennas secure OFDM links by preserving signals for intended receivers and distorting them for spoofers.
Phase-based backscatter signals from zero-power anchors enable accurate indoor positioning where GPS and cellular coverage is unreliable.
Multiple backscatter anchors use phase signals at different frequencies to improve indoor positioning where satellite and cellular links are unreliable.
Hybrid cascading of couplers and circulators creates multiple high-efficiency points, easing backoff efficiency pits in ultra-wideband RF amplifiers.
Low-frequency sinusoidal signals on DC power lines enable prosumer communication without added hardware, reducing overhead and preserving grid stability.
Dedicated RF symbols within wireless slots let ambient IoT nodes harvest energy while preserving uplink and downlink coexistence.
