The purpose of this work is to investigate various ways of energizing MEMS based sensors and actuators operating at low power, which can be embedded in various types of host materials without adding any extra devices as a power source. These host materials can be either soft materials or membranes, such as nylons or any low-cost polymer composite laminates. For these low-powered batteryless sensors or actuators, one of the possible power source can be RF energy harvesting. The purpose here is to confirm the feasibility and identify practices and critical needs of such cases ranging from biomedical to general engineering related applications.
