Characteristics of solar powered energy harvesters that use RF energy for enabling or disabling operation. (a) Circuit diagram for solar powered harvesters, including a schematic of the RF control logic. (b) A picture of solar powered harvesters with descriptions for each functional block. (c) Transmitted power required to operate the μ-ILEDs as a function of distance. (d) Current-voltage characteristics of the photovoltaic modules (2 solar cells) under illumination with sunlight and with a desk lamp. This module provides ~ 4 V. (e), (f), (h), and (i) Images of wireless operation. (g) and (j) Images of mice with Vertical and Horizontal type solar powered harvesters, respectively.
