Abstract

A new approach, which provides a power source and fast communication for miniaturized modules' sensor nodes using a 13.56 MHz carrier, is discussed. The approach is based on the well-established inductive coupling principle. Inductive coupling provides both a power and a communication solution, so the module being powered has no need for an on-board energy source. Inductive powering will never result in a global solution to powering sensor modules because of its inherently limited range but it can provide an attractive solution for embedded sensors, which are completely inaccessible.
