Abstract
Various embodiments are described that relate to directing of a signal. An incoming signal can be compared to a threshold voltage. If the signal does not meet the threshold voltage, then the signal can be used for normal usage, such as communication with a software-defined radio. However, if the signal does meet the threshold, then the signal can be directed away from normal usage. In one example, the signal can be directed away from a communication component and directed to an energy harvesting component that charges a battery of the software-defined radio.
