Abstract
This paper presents the system design, implement, and measurement results of the testbed for the wireless RF energy harvesting system. The developed testbed can be used for RF power transfer and data communication using the 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz frequency bands. It allows to evaluate the system performances for the RF power and data transmission. The testbed can also be used to develop algorithms for efficient energy harvesting.
