Abstract :
A small photocell and a non-linear vibration energy harvester have been used to power a low power wireless transceiver device. The device, a technology demonstrator, is self-powered and works without any battery on board. It is able to transmit at few meters distance data such as the temperature and the power supply voltage values in the 2,4 GHz ISM band every 10 seconds.
