Frequency-Domain SWIPT and Modulation Classification: Design and Experimental Validation

Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) constitutes an emerging paradigm that prolongs the lifetime of energy-constrained devices, such as wireless sensors and Internet-of-Things (IoT) nodes. Its frequency-domain (FD) variant enables energy harvesting (EH) by using (low-power) l...
