Abstract

Wireless signal transmission plays an increasingly imperative role in numerous aspects of modern society, but it still remains challenging to achieve it with low-cost and efficient way. Herein, we demonstrate a long-distance wireless signal transmission system, which mainly includes an electrodeless triboelectric nanogenerator coupled with linear motion and rotational motion (LR-TENG) as a transmitter and a receiver located at a distance. Based on the varying electric field originated from Maxwell's displacement current, the maximum transmission distance of LR-TENG can reach 86 cm under the external excitation of 1 Hz, creating the highest record among the relevant researches. In addition, the influence of obstacle type, thickness, size and position on signal transmission has been systematically investigated for the first time, and the distribution of time-varying electric field in space is also analyzed qualitatively. Furthermore, a Labview interface is developed for accurate positioning in complex scenes relying on the received signals from multiple receivers at different positions. This work illustrates a simple and feasible design method for extending the distance of wireless signal transmission based on TENG, and promotes its application in the field of wireless communication.
