Description
The core element of our Energy Harvesting technology, the generator, is available in monostable (momentary) or bistable (latching) forms, with or without RF electronics. Based on the inductive principle, the required RF energy is generated by the actuation of the patented mechanism, which converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy in the form of an RF signal.
Note: Standalone generators should be used with suitable RF electronics. The design of PCB and RF electronics depends on the type of protocol and the requirement of available space in the target application. The PCB design and integration of a custom protocol is possible (subject to minimum order quantity). See Energy Harvesting Product Range for more information on standard products.
