Abstract
With the growing number of wearables, providing power to the wearables around the body is becoming challenging. Using batteries for each node is inconvenient due to charging overhead. RF-based wireless power transfer (WPT) is limited by the human-body shadowing effect. Many energy harvesting (EH) methods such as PV/tribo/piezoelectric/thermoelectric harvesters have their own limitations when it comes to the wearables. This paper introduces the human body-coupled wireless power transfer/energy harvesting, namely the Body-Coupled Powering (BCP), which overcomes the issues with conventional RF-WPT or EH methods.
