According to foreign media, researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a flexible Rotman lens-based rectenna system that can collect millimeter waves in the 28-gigahertz band. This technology can turn 5G networks into a radio network that can power small Internet of Things (IoT) devices that currently require batteries to run in the air.
Rotman lenses are critical to beamforming networks, which are commonly used in radar surveillance systems to observe targets from multiple directions without moving the antenna. In order to create a system that can harvest enough power to operate low-power devices at long distances, larger aperture antennas are needed. The team said that current 5G networks are built for high-bandwidth communications. High-frequency networks contain power that can be harvested but not used, which would otherwise be wasted. It is reported that the researchers created these devices using in-house rapid prototyping manufacturing technology to print millimeter wave collectors on a variety of everyday flexible and rigid substrates. In the future, they hope to replace batteries with air charging, which may bring revolutionary changes to various electronic products. |
