Abstract
A system and method for continuous wireless monitoring and powering of at least one sensor is presented. The system is generally comprised of at least one sensor, at least one RF transmitter, an energy harvester, an energy storage unit, a microprocessor and a receiving antenna. Multiple RF transmitters may be positioned in an orthogonal orientation within reach of the receiving antennae to provide equally strong RF fields. The system may additionally include metal shielding around the area in which the system is operating.
