Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017118914A1] A system for charging long-range radio frequency identification tags includes a plurality of physically separated transmitters. Each transmitter is configured to direct a respective energy beam to an energy location. A tag is at the energy location. The tag is configured to store a received energy from the energy location, to sense a sensor data and to transmit the sensor data to a reader after a capacitor connected to the tag charges to an operating voltage level. The capacitor is charged by the received energy. A controller is configured to align at the energy location for each of the plurality of transmitters, a respective frequency, and at least one of a respective phase, and a respective polarity of each respective energy beam to maximize an energy level at the energy location in response to a device response of the tag.
