Powercast Intros New RF Energy Harvesting Transmitter Sensors Magazine: "PITTSBURGH, PA -- Powercast Corporation, a leader in RF-based wireless power and energy harvesting technology, announced availability of its TX91501 Powercaster Transmitter which uses the 915-MHz ISM band to transmit common radio waves for power and data in commercial, industrial and defense applications. As the power source for Powercast's RF energy-harvesting wireless power solution, the TX91501 broadcasts power and data over 40 ft. to its companion Powerharvester receivers. Embedded into micro-power devices such as wireless sensors, instrumentation and controls, the Powerharvester receivers convert the received RF energy into DC power for battery-free operation or to wirelessly trickle charge batteries. The receivers also output the data broadcast from the TX91501 as well as the received signal strength indication (RSSI)."
