Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: receiving power at a remote station via a plurality of antennas coupled to the remote station, the received power being associated with a plurality of frequencies within an ultra-wide frequency band, each antenna from the plurality of antennas of the remote station configured to receive a unique frequency from the plurality of frequencies within of the ultra-wide band, each antenna from the plurality of antennas having an effective area greater than a physical area of that antenna as a result of a circuit formed within that antenna, wherein the plurality of antennas are formed on a substrate, the circuit formed within each antenna from the plurality of antennas being based on (1) a specific capacitance of the substrate, and (2) specific electrode and inter-electrode dimensions of that antenna; and converting the received power to a DC power at the remote station.
